, anyone know the proper torque spec ? 3 nuts on each side located under the pastic cover, to far left and right of battery.

Thanks.

Let's ask this another way, are the strut tower mounting nuts supposed to be hand tight ? All three nuts were completely loose on both sides, just had the car in for alignment and corner balance last week.

Can someone confirm that these should be snug ? seems obvious to me, but I'd like to get confirmation.

Thanks

think you better take it back and have the front alignment checked if they forget to tighten down the shock towers

Seconded. If they were not snug at all, then it's guaranteed that the struts moved. Those mounts receive some of the cornering load. Just turning the wheel can move them.
