Brembo Swap ~ Complete, but now there leaking

last weekend i did a brembo swap onto my 07 coupe. when I got the calipers back from the powdercoat he spilt them all, along with removing the pistons. after rebuilding them (new o-rings, and dust boots) and putting them on the car, my pedal feels really lose, and the brakes dont grab until the pedal is almost at the floor, upon further inspection i noticed that 2 of them are leaking (there could be more). Im 99% that they are leaking from the middle and not the pistons. I think it could be 2 things, either these bolt are not tight enough:



Does anyone know the torqu specs from these bolts? I cant find them. Another problem could be if our brembos have o-rings on the side? like this:



These pics for taken from DIY brembo rebuld for an Accord. When mine were split I dont remember there being o-rings there but not sure, also if there were o-rings there, wouldnt the rebuild kit have came with new ones?

Someone help me!
