Sounds like you still have air in the lines.

This guy. Have someone else pump the brake while you keep an eye on the reservoir and crack the bleeders one at a time. Should flow out with no bubbles whatsoever. Could always install speed bleeders so you can do it by yourself next time.

Are flares intact? Have you connected/disconnected the lines a few times? Are the fittings seated on properly?

you could have cross threaded it, or overtightened it. see if you have a thread chaser or tap that will be the same threar size and pitch, maybe cleaning it out and making sure its all cleaned out will help it seal.

But if you've destroyed the threads the flare doesnt sit correctly allowing fluid to flow where it shouldnt. Get a thread chaser fix the threads, then hand tighten the threads till you can't any more, then use a wrench. Tightening bolts and fittings this way make it basically impossible to cross thread.
