Default 993 floating rotors

So I'm trying to figure out 993 front brakes. I have never owned floating 2 piece rotors before. I noticed that the hub/hat was loose from the rotor on the driver side. There was maybe ~.1mm of play. Not much, but enough that I can feel it. I recently read that this amount of play is ok, but then I also read to torque it down to 6ft lbs. I have never worked with floating rotors before so any expert info on this would be appreciated. I also read that some replace the hardware and some don't. Unfortunately it doesn't look like anyone has a hardware kit to refresh that. Are these stretch bolts? Should I just clean them up and reuse?

Edit: I actually DL'd a 993 manual and it does not even talk about rebuilding the 2 piece turbo rotors. Oh well I just put them back to spec and run them until they fall off.
