..... with fridge still on bench, ensure that the bracket holding the
propane line end to corner of fridge box is not cracked or loose. Hold
that line steady against pressure of wrench that is turning the nut on
the supply line. Do not torque that line. That is how the bracket gets
damaged. (BTDT). The nut on supply line does not require excessive
torque.

Once fridge is installed, check for leaks between supply LP line and
line on fridge. A mechanics mirror might be helpful here.
