Default Installed Integra MC and Booster, car won't seem to bleed...

So I somehow got a Teg booster and MC in my car (was a tight *** fit). So I bled the brakes and it seems all the lines have no air. However when I start the car the pedal can be pressed to the floor but once all the way pressed it seems to stop the car. Someone told me to bleed the MC but I'm not sure what that means.

you have to bench bleed the MC before installation. I can't remember how though

Someone said you put it in a vice and then press the back of it. I actually did that by hand. I assume that is to get all the juice inside out? Cuz when you press the tube sticking out of the back it squirts out juice.

I actually got them to work though. What I did was use my vacuum pump and stick it on the bleeder screw and pump it, then i opened the screw, then i went inside the car and pumped the brakes with the brake pedal, that made fluid in the mc drop and soon it would come out of the screw. I have a theory that when the MC wasn't actually moved manually I was just sucking out old fluid. However once I actually pushed the pedal the MC got fluid sucked down into it.
