Ticking after Sparkplug swap. 91' N/A

Just bought the car afew weeks ago, Thought i'd give it a tune up. Flushed fluids, and oil change.
After changing the sparkplugs noticed a tick from the driver's side of the engine bay.

I just hand tightened them. Maybe one's on too loose?
What Torgue are the NA plugs suppose to be at?

Car runs fine to me. Maybe little hesitation?

if you look on the plug box they usually have instructions like hand tight then quarter turn more or something like that. If you didn't blow out holes the plugs are stuck in you may have just dropped a screw into the cylinder. that would be ticking.
