There should be best practices used, but there can’t be guarantees of success for obvious reasons.
Best Practices;
Clean both mating surfaces very well. Do not deform either.
Use a high quality sealant on a high quality gasket.
Torque the bolts properly.

As Barncat wrote (y) when tighten bolts just snug them up until all in place than slowly tighten bolt across until tight.
