I only recommend using your fingers to tighten up the threaded covers on the Hub # PXQ822F. This will prevent the risk of damage to the hub.

I am concerned that if I finger tighten the lug nut covers for the PXQ822F that they may come loose and I will lose some. Should I use something like Loctite to make sure they stay on?

@MarvinS I would not use any type of Loctite as the covers are a plastic material and this would be more likely to cause damage to the wheel cover itself.
