whennnn i run over small bumps, i jacked up the car and checked the bolts that i took out and put back in during coilover install, they are all tightened to torque specs and they should be good..

the top strut mounts usually have some slack in them with aftermarket shocks and springs and is probably what is causing the noise. the RR strut is usually the main cause, if you remove the strut and it has some play in the strut top mount then you could try shimming them with some washers but i really just live with it as it is a minor clunk now and then. modifying them can cause long term bushing wear issues.
