They need to be slightly tight, just to reduce the play before tightening the two M5 bolts to 14Nm.

14Nm is pretty spicy for HT2 cinch bolts🙂 Even allowing for the fact that they're M6 not M5, 14Nm is about the upper limit for high tensile CrMo M6, and cranks are aluminium
I think they say 12-14Nm on them. Maybe it's 10-12.
