Edit: I clearly didn’t look at the picture correctly. Below response is correct. Most stems have even gaps, but this is one of the exceptions. I have no clue why.
You still just snug the clamp shut, and don’t torque it fully, and then torque the opposite side.

The intent is to fully close the gap on the #1 bolts before tightening the #2 bolts (see how the interface at the #1 bolts is curved to act as a pivot). I don’t recall if the #1 bolts need to be fully torqued first or not though. Does the manufacturer provide any additional info?

I always do them up in multiple steps…2nm, 4nm, 6nm, in a criss cross pattern.
