I've had the best results tightening the clamps first, front two bolts, then the back two. Finally torquing the bottom riser bolts last.

These are the risers that the OP has......

They are steel construction with one piece lower, and top clamp. Once I started the bolts into the top tree, through the solid bushing eliminators, into the risers there was absolutely no slop in that combo. Just a mental note I made during final assembly.
I guess if you were running a bushing in the top tree VS the solid bushing eliminators I use there could be a small bit of adjustment to work with here. As far as the top clamp bolts drawing or twisting the lower riser assembly, I dont think thats gonna happen with these risers.
Again, these are just things that I made note of during assembly of my bike. Now I did have to adjust the front end of every bike I have built by loosening the axle pinch bolt/ fender/triple clamp/ Steer stem bolt, and set to preference, then torque carefully.
To the OP, keep us posted with pics, and your findings.
