Crush washer if the firearm has one, if not, tighten it down.

Why would you need a crush washer? They're for proper positioning a flash hider.
Only ever seen to torque to 20-30ft lbs

I’ve always been told never use a crush washer because the muzzle device will come loose.
Shims are fine for properly clocking a muzzle brake because you’re still torquing the brake.
3 or 4 prong flash hiders don’t need clocking so shims aren’t necessary. Torque the flash hider down tight and run it.
ETA: most people use rocksette as a thread locker as well. It’s better than red loctite because it only requires boiled water for removal. Some muzzle device suppliers supply it with their kits, i.e. silencerco.
