Ryan-Are you using a new keeper plate?  If the end float number you gave 
(.0015) is correct, the new plate must be thick enough to compensate for a 
worn cam &excess material must be removed to get the .004"-.008" recommended 
end float.  You will need to remove about .0025" to get the min. end  float.  
This can easily be done by filing the back of the keeper, taking care to keep 
the surface flat, several trial&error fits will probably be needed.  As Dick 
said, actual torque on the keeper bolts isn"t too important. Berry
