Default Torque for prop bolts

If you have a metal mini lathe, you can shave a little off the nuts to
get them to line up exactly with the cotter pin.

Quick question for the group. When setting the torque on prop bolts (I
have bolts with nuts), if the hole for the cotter pin doesn't line up
with the castleated nut at the proper torque setting, is it better to go
tighter or looser to get the hole lined up. My gut instinct says
tighter, but....
