How well did you bleed the caliper pistons??
They can take a lot of fluid.
Any chance of calipers being switched side to side and upside down??
Cant tell from the pic.
 
It is sometimes required to remove the caliper and put a block of wood between the pads and hold the caliper with the bleeder screw absolutely straight up to remove all the air. Sometimes you have to tap on the caliper while bleeding to help get the air pocket to move towards the bleeder screw. I had this same issue until i took the caliper off and bled it like i just described.
 
so you think all of my lines should be ok right..im running 3/16 hard line and the brake hose and that stainless line on the other side
 
Your lines are fine. I would however "clean it up" (move them out of harms way).
