Maybe run the engine a second or two in park to let it find it's sweet spot. Then torque the clamp. Just be sure it doesn't look like the flywheel is warped or loose. Rusty dust would be an indicator of that.
If the flywheel was bowed and you suspect thrust bearing damage, forget the above. If you're just being cautious. BRAVO! to you!!
