Default Bank 1 valve cover hold down bolt access

I am trying to torque down the valve covers.

Bank2 was piece of cake.

Bank 1:
Nearer to radiator:
Only 1 I had to do by feel as I was unable to get the socket with torque wrench.
Had to take off the intake to reach some.

Q: Nearer to firewall:
Can I access them from below?
Is there room to get socket with a torque wrench?

Got the RX on ramps and was able to torque down 3, The other two I just guessed but was able to reach with a wrench.

As your RX ages, remember to torque down the valve covers.
