I don't see a 2.4-liter engine, there is a 2.0-liter engine though so here are the specs for that engine. There seems to be two different bolt sizes, here are the specs for both.
Tightening torque
M6 bolts:
11.8 - 13.7 N.m (1.2 - 1.4 kgf.m, 8.7 - 10.1 lb-ft)
M8 bolts:
18.6 - 22.6 N.m (1.9 - 2.3 kgf.m, 13.7 - 16.6 lb-ft)
Here is the tightening sequence. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.

Suggested Repair
For the 2.0L engine, torque camshaft cap M6 bolts to 11.8-13.7 N.m (8.7-10.1 lb-ft) and M8 bolts to 18.6-22.6 N.m (13.7-16.6 lb-ft), then follow the factory tightening sequence in the service images. Confirm the engine is the 2.0L, since no 2.4L listing was found.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a 2016 Kia Forte asked for camshaft cap bolt torque specs and the tightening sequence. The expert provided 2.0L specs for M6 and M8 bolts and pointed to sequence images, noting that a 2.4L engine was not listed.
