Installing a toilet tank is a lot like changing a tire. You tighten the bolts gradually, alternating from one to the other. On a Toto, there are 2 points of contact. Some guys recommend using a playing card like a feeler gauge and just getting the points that close. Others bring the points down until they touch. The key is alternating and not going too with one side. If you've done that and you have a leak, there is something else wrong. Could be a defect. Toto has very few defects that get past quality control, but it is possible.
