If you make a cable with lugs on each end and the lugs are not aligned for the stud that they'll be mounted to, then you end up with a twist in the cable. That twist adds stress on the lug, possibly causing it to rotate on the stud, preventing a solid contact. Put enough torque on the stud nut and you get rid of the misalignment of the ring terminal. But too much torque can break a bus bar.
My approach when making my cables was to lay out the cable, including the curves needed to make the cable go from one stud to the next. One end of the cable was cut, the other end was not (it was longer than needed). I inserted the cut end of the cable into the lug and made sure the lug sit flat on the stud. If I was unsure that I could take the cable/lug off the stud and maintain the position, I made a mark on the cable/lug so I could put it back into alignment. With the cable/lug aligned, I crimped it and tested the crimp.
The cable was put back in place with the newly crimped lug on the stud that it was on previously. Then, with the cable arranged with the necessary curves and lined up with the next stud, I marked where to cut the cable. Pull the cable off the equipment, cut it for length and trim off the insulation. Put a lug on the cut end and place the cable back on the equipment, ensuring that the lug was in alignment with the stud. If I let go of the cable and the lug rotated, then it wasn't in alignment. Make an alignment mark, pull the cable off the equipment and make the crimp.
None of my lugs stressed the stud of what they were attached to.
