Will the M7100X damage the R-40SA?

No. The M7100X is rated for the R-40SA's 8 Ω load as it comes.

What impedance setting should I use for the R-40SA on the M7100X?

None: the R-40SA is 8 Ω, and the M7100X needs no change for it.

How many watts does the R-40SA need?

Klipsch doesn't publish the R-40SA's sensitivity or impedance, so we can't work out a wattage for it. Compare the M7100X's power rating with Klipsch's recommendation.

How to connect them

Connect the M7100X's inputs to the pre-outs of your receiver or processor: a power amplifier has no volume control of its own.
Connect each R-40SA to one of the M7100X's channels with speaker wire.

Plan the R-40SA and M7100X in your own room.

Draw your room in 3D, place both, and see every connection checked and how loud they play at your seat. Designing is free.
