Transmission mount bolts and order...
Which means it is anybody's guess as to what service manual you should own.
That is a standard Evo and earlier primary chain tensioner setup.
Looks like a `98-`06 clutch.
For torquing sequence of engine, primary and transmission:
I align the transmission, torque the mounts.
Install the primary (engine mount bolts loose at this point), torque the primary to transmission and primary to engine bolts.
Check the engine mounting areas, if any space between the engine and frame, you will need to shim.

Completely backwards of the way I have always done it...
make sure to take the paint off the motor and trans mounts first and hone them flat
1. Install motor (torque the rear and check if front needs shims) motor completely shimmed a torqued before going any further...
2. Install trans plate loosely
3. Put transmission in trans plate loosely
4. Install primary cover and tighten primary to motor bolts followed by primary to trans bolts
At this point your trans is aligned with motor.
5. Tighten trans plate to the transmission (not the frame)
6. Check to see if you need shims between trans plate and frame
7. Tighten trans plate to frame with shims in place
8. Check and shim top mount...
Shims may not be necessary...most times they are
