No brakes need help

So i just finished installing my MPracing big brake kit i bled the brakes everything was good but as soon as i turn the car on i the peddle goes to the floor and wont build pressure.So after bleeding the front brakes 4-5 times i tried bleeding the whole brake system and the fronts and rear driver side bleed like there supposed to but the rear pass caliber does nothing no air or fluid come out so im stumped and need help trying to figure out whats going on.I also have the ABS light and trac light on i didnt have my scanner at my parents house so i have no idea what codes are coming up but i will check tomorrow and post an update.

Well, you can't change the orientation of the bleeder screw itself - it depends on where the bleeder is on hte caliper.
You need to be sure the calipers are oriented in such a way that the bleeder screw is pointing up (you might have the calipers reversed). If the bleeder screws are pointing down you'll never get all the air out of the system.
