The trans pan uses a gasket that encapsulates the pan lip. It is a very positive seal requiring very little torque. I think it is only 8nm(?). Start low, you can always tighten it a bit more.

One my 99 the bolts slip through a plastic sleeve/clip. The clip holds the pan lip and the rest sleeve bottoms out on the frame of the trans. Your's appears to be the same gasket and pan but minus the plastic sleeves.
