Creo motor bolt, chain ring torque

I just got a chain guide from Specialized and want to double check the torque specs before I put it on. It comes with a bolt that replaces a motor mounting bolt and has internal threads for a small bolt that holds the chain guide arm.

The Specialized doc I found online is titled “S-Works Creo SL User’s Manual”. I have the carbon comp. I assume the motor mount bolts use the same torque since the frame is the same, but I’m not sure of the chainring torque since the 2021 S-Works used a SRAM ring vs the Praxis I have.

The document calls for Drive Side Motor mounts 17 NM, non drive 10 NM, and Chainring bolts 10 NM.

Anyone have any different information?
Thanks!
 
Have you found an answer? Just got a chain guide, not that I've needed it since getting the Wolf Tooth chainring but now I'm riding more rougher terrain and just want some reassurance the chain ain't going anywhere.
 
Drive side bolts are rated at 17Nm based on the manual.

As they said the drive side motor bolt is 17NM but it is a 5mm hex where all of the other motor motor bolts are T-25. The chain guide is 3mm and 4.5 NM. I don't care for the Creo 1 chain guide and the Creo 2 guide won't fit because it's designed to fit in a frame recess to keep it from rotating.

The manuals and a lot of other useful info is on Support.specialized.com
