Just want to be a bit more accurate.
All you need to to is snug them up, irrespective of whether you use a pedal wrench or an Allen key. It’s not a power meter where torque may matter. The pedal spindles are threaded so they won’t loosen while riding (left is reverse-threaded). Put them on your bike and go ride.
