Just in case you don't know, a cross pattern means alternating locations. Such as 12 oclock 1st, 6 oclock next, then 10, 4, 2, 8. Like Dick says, go back for a second round of torque to specs, then recheck starting with the 12 OClock, 6, etc.

I use every other then skip over and continue every other until they are all tight. Then repeat the process, this tightens the first every other and ensures I tightened them all. This is a carry over from the adjacent method I used on 5 lug axles.
As long as they are all tightened and you didn't do them sequentially your good.

I gun them on with my snap on electric impact or IR air and let off the trigger right when they're flush, then go back over them in the pattern Monsta posted with my wrench at 120ft. lbs. to make sure none are loose.
