Thermalright coolers should be impossible not to tighten correctly if you do the screws up enough as the springs on them provide an absolute stopping point for the screw. You tighten until you can tighten no more. It is more likely the thermal paste application was much weaker on one side - if the paste is new, give it a few days, that will probably rectify itself.

Paste has settled, and temps are still split 2/2 Cores. Why do you suspect the paste? Isnt it normal for quad chips to vary a few degrees per core?
