Questions on Leaking manifolds
So last night I went through and put my cleaned injectors in and the Pineapple sleeves in the 5th and 6th ports and all new Mazda gaskets on the LIM and UIM. Started her and and she wasn't running right, So I looked for the obvious missed vacuum leaks and or missed connections everything was good. So I sprayed some starting fluid around the intakes and found a leak at the lower manifold to the block
Is there a sequence on installing the bolts? or do I need to be looking at something eles?

No sequence, just tighten them all hand snug plus 1/8 turn. I usually start with the ones in the middle, because if you are not careful you will snap an ear off of the outside corner if you try and tighten those down first.
Most issues come as a result of a small chunk of old gasket being left on the block. I have also seen a couple of people get the metal clip that holds the OMP lines down, caught in between the manifold and block.
