Solution

Technician A is correct. When installing a pressure plate, the retaining bolts are normally torqued one at a time in a star-pattern. This is to ensure an even distribution of pressure and to prevent warping or distortion. Torquing in a circle, as Technician B suggests, could lead to uneven pressure and potential damage.
