Who does just one? That's worse than not doing either. Since they're captive screws, doing just one can force the connector to wedge in crooked. I've had issues with tightening one too far before starting the threads on the other. Sometimes you have to go back and forth a couple times

After you properly connected it, sealing just one seems okay, isn't it?

If you tighten just one side, it can pull the connector in that direction. Think of tightening heatsink screws unevenly on each side.

These seem way more forgiving tho. Up to the point you can connect it hot and working and it'd go nice.
