Looks like a m10 flange nut? You half covered it up.

I'd say 47ftlb if it's 8.8 grade or 66ftlb if it's 10.9 grade.

But seriously no one torques it go by feel.

I think the spec is "good-n-tite". Just make sure you make a click noise with your mouth otherwise it doesn't count.

I mean... if you can pull one of those those clicks, I think that would be more accurate than a snap on digital.
