Did you remember to bench bleed the MC before you installed it?

It is different,
you need to carefully clamp down the master cyliner on a work benchtop, and manually bleed the unit before installation,
then do the rigourous bleeding procedure to all four corners, sounds hard, but its really not.
But must be done correctly

you can find a writeup or service manual exerpt to do this by searching, or get the exerpt from the stand up dude above willing to lend it to you
