Those 4 bolts go into expanding rubber well nuts like attach the windshield. Don't use loctite like I did, not knowing they were well nuts. Big mistake but luckily the entire housing removes to let you hold the well nuts to keep them from spinning.

Just snug them up, resist the urge to use the torque wrench. Any significant leverage will get you too tight and damage the well nuts.
