referring to the actual bolts or studs, just like the wheel studs, they are stretched so that they are in tension loading all the time to reduce the effects of metal fatigue. The design is to maintain the tension to over 1 million cycles to exceed the fatigue limit. After that you should be home free.
If you really over stretched the bolts, the bolt stretched during the few degrees of turning, and now the bolt is longer permanently. (Yielding) so the force is less than spec'ed.
Like I posted above if more than a few degrees, my few is like under 5 degrees, re do it.
If you turned the nut another 1/16th of a turn or more, get it a priority to redo it. Clean the surfaces, put on assembly lube (or motor oil) and take your time.
