Just make sure they're in as far as they'll go, and they'll be fine when you torque the nuts.

LocTite on them couldn't hurt, though...

Yeah, they won't come out. Use the nuts from the original install and tighten them down. Good to go.

Torque spec for the hub-to-knuckle nuts is 133 lb-ft.

If you did not remove the knuckle, no worries. Nothing will change. If you do remove the knuckle you need to pay attention to the shim/plate and reassemble the way it came off.
