Default 4-Way Sport Seats Plus rubbing against armrest

Got an interesting problem in my 991.2... I have this squeaking sound driving around which I've isolated to the seat bolster leather against leather armrest. I've tried using shea butter on the leather to lubricate the point where it meets and it does help, but does eventually come back.

I'm thinking of loosening the 4 bolts on the seat track and seeing if I can scoot the seat away from the armrest so it doesn't rub. Does anyone know what socket I would need for this? Looks like a speciality one... Also the torque value when I'm done.

Thanks!

Instructions in here on how to remove the seat. E12 (external torx). I don't have a torque value. You may also want to confirm that they are not one time use bolts, in the 997 at least, I think they are.

They are not single use bolts, center value for torque is 38 ft*lbs.

Considering that the bolt is the same in the 997 and 991, I'd guess that it is still considered one time use. I confirmed in the shop manual for the 997 at least that it is one time use.
