You only replaced one side?

What did you replace, the rotor or the pads? Did you bleed the system?

I would just bleed both fronts and make sure you're good. It certainly won't hurt.

Brakes were working fine before the rotor replacement?

Does the padel vibrate or slowly go down when you press the padel?

If it vibrates, that is a problem related to the rotor. If it did not vibrate before you changing the rotor, it might because the old pads can not work very well with the rotor. Give a few days drive and check again.

If the padel slowly goes down, you need to check leaks and bleed the brake line.

You should have changed the pad for the left side while you changed the rotor. The old brake pad may be uneven. I would have suggested cutting the right side and change all the front brake pads at that time.
