The reason that you tighten lightly is that you do not want a solid connection between the basket, screw and baffle. You pull the driver into the baffle tightening th screws. One way to do it is tighten until you feel the screw hard against the baffle and then back out half a turn. Insuring that all the screws are at the same depth is important because the leather will expand to hold the driver. Your method should insure proper alignment to the baffle.
Should you overtighten, there is potential for two problems, one of them catastrophic. The minor problem might be that you strip out the hole. The catastrophic is that you end up with a speaker that sounds like anything but a Sonus faber.
