tightened sway bar end links.....seriously?

clunking started at 600miles. put the car on a lift to tighten the links myself.
managed to get them tight with a combo of wrenches and extensions. found the top link on the passenger side was only hand tight.

the links are designed horribly and are near impossible to access. the lower link bolt hex key is right up against the control arm and there is no room to get a decent size wrench on the top link bolt although its easier to access the top hex key.

so I'm thinking how would you even get a torque wrench on the nut being that you need the hex key in the stud so it doesn't spin?? i know they make open ended torque wrenches but i don't see how they would fit in that confined space.

someone please tell me what I'm missing here.. id love to know how chevy workers at the factory or the dealership get the right torque values on them
