Torque Specs to Attach Head to Shank on Fastway Weight Distribution FA94-00-1061

Question:

When the side bolts on Item # FA94-00-1061 are torqued to 400 pounds, will the metal be tight against the 2foot solid piece that goes into the hitch, or will they still not be touching?

The flanges on the head that attach to the shank on Fastway weight distribution system # FA94-00-1061 will flex some but may not completely "pinch" the shank. But the shank bolts only get tightened to 250 foot pounds each, not 400. The torque to attach the ball to the head is 450 pounds. I can't see a toque spec anywhere that states 400 pounds for this system.
