Do those rods and caps have alignment pins? If not, you should tap them lightly near the joint while tightening the screws. This is how you seat them to the crank. Doing it on the bench first will give you an idea how this works. This way you can hold the crank in your hands and spin it to check for drag before doing the final assembly.

It goes without saying to mark the rods and caps before disassembly so they can go back together on the same journal the same way they came apart but hey, you already know that! ☺
