If no torque spec was used then I would certainly suspect over-tightening... what works on OE Subaru fasteners might not work on these parts, because aftermarket mfgrs. frequently use lower strength hardware.

The OEM torque spec is only 15 lbs... that's just "snug" with a 3/8" ratchet... they don't need to be tight, as they only have to keep the top mount from moving latterally.
