Default quick ? on damper torque spec

I stopped by a buddies house to help him get his front end together on his 13' road glide. We swapped out the lowers and i forgot to grab my service manual from the shop. I know it is 10.7/10.8oz of fluid but i can not for the life of me recall the torque spec for the fork lower damper bolt. Can someone help me out please. thanks!

This is what I see in my manual but could be looking in the wrong place. Maybe one of these???

FASTENER TORQUE VALUE

Fork damper tube screw 132-216 in-lbs
Fork oil drain plug 72-96 in-lbs
Fork tube plug 60-70 ft-lbs
Fork bracket pinch bolt 53-57 ft-lbs
Fork cap bolt 60-70 ft-lbs
