I actually ended up salvaging mine my using some silicone sealant around the bolt. That held it and kept it sealed. I think that bolt only acts as a plug/seal anyways. This hack worked fine for me, and was still in place when I replaced the CCT with a manual model.

I'll certainly try that! Thanks. The O-ring leads me to believe that there could potentially be pressure underneath and it's currently loose enough to fall out from the engine's vibrations so I hope it'll work.
The sad thing is, I went to buy a torque wrench before I got started but Lowes didn't have any! The associate insisted that they used to and even told me how much they cost, but there wasn't even an empty shelf space. I resolved to simply buy one elsewhere in the future because I wasn't going to be riding it until I finished a lot more work. I thought I would only get it snug and then torque it correctly before I ride but it seems that "snug" is too much torque already.

Yup (see sig).
