Take those connections to a starter bolt or the flywheel cover and re-torque the studs.

When grounding on the head keep in mind that the full electrical load is going through the head which is insulated by the head-gasket and relying on the stud which is fastened with sealant to get the ground to the block the ultimate goal.
