More than llikely the bolt was a bit too long even though you thought you tightened it. Here`s a simple test. Install just the bolts and measure from the block face to the bolt head face, record the measurement.
Measure the starter length. The starter length should be MORE than the bolt length to securely tighten the starter ,otherwise the bolts are tight but the starter is still loose and this leads to the sheared bolts.
