Holy S**T Ken.  I cannot believe you have your compulsive directive in such
a misguided state.  Everyone knows that the most important things are that:

1.  The square sides of the jacks are perfectly aligned when looking from
the back.
2.  The torque-lbs applied to each hex nut is within 5% to prevent panel
warpage.  Your compulsion will lead to huge and quite unacceptable
variations from standard torque.  That just won't do !!

(just kiddin' of course)

To the person who wanted to know about my size:  No, I am not a large
person.  However, I think I am the only one so far to actually torque a
stud out of the back of a MOTM panel.  So, if you have ever wondered, " Can
I overtighten this bracket nut?"  The answer is YES.
