You are presumably referring to the piston connecting rod big end bearing caps?
It would be helpful if your question was more specific especially regarding the problem you are having.
Generally, cleanliness is important, observing the pairing of each rod and cap (they are all slightly different) and fitting each cap the correct way around.
Fit the bearing shells to the rods and caps and having replaced the bolts or studs and nuts according to the repair manual, oil the bearing surfaces, fit the cap and tighten the fasteners to the correct torque.

Hello capybluebloo: The torque specs are as follows. Step one tighten to 10-12 ft.lbs. Step two is to tighten an additional 60-65 degrease. I checked two different shop programs and they both say the same. I hope you have access to a degree meter as the degree is very important. Please leave a rating as to quality of your reply as it does help. Should you need more help just ask. Thank You for using FixYa. Roger

Connecting rod:
1. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the connecting rod cap bolts.
2. Install and alternately tighten the 2 connecting rod cap bolts in several passes. Torque: 1ZZ-FE: 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft. lbs.) 2ZZ-GE: 30 Nm (306 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.) If any of the connecting rod cap bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the connecting rod cap bolts.
3. Retighten the cap bolts by 90° more
4. Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
