According to the manual I have, the torque setting is 18 Lb-Ft per bolt starting in the center and working outward in a circular pattern. Then tighten an additional 90 degrees (1/4 turn) per bolt three times following the same sequence each time.
Torque for valve cover bolts is 7 to 10 ft. Lbs . Tighten the bolts in a criss-cross pattern .
I think there is no torque required for the valve cover as long as all are evenly tightened or the seal is flat on the cylinder head it will not cause any leak. If you have tightened the valve cover screws already and there are still leaks you might want to consider putting silicone on the valve cover gasket before you attach it or you might want to consider buying a new valve cover gasket.

To properly tighten the valve cover gasket on a Mercedes-Benz E320, follow a specific sequence to ensure even pressure across the gasket. Start by hand-tightening the bolts in a crisscross pattern, then use a torque wrench to tighten them to the manufacturer’s specified torque, typically around 10-12 Nm (Newton-meters). It’s important to do this in several steps, gradually increasing the torque to avoid warping the cover. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for the exact specifications and sequence.
