well I figured out what I did wrong (put on one of the brake pads the other way around) but its not giving me much pressure after my remedy.  I released a lot of brake fluid through the bleed valve when I was doing it.  maybe thats why my brakes arent up to par right now, low fluid.  I see the resevoir and its not empty.

The whole system needs to be bled properly, you can screw the master cylinder seals if done incorrectly, changing the old fluid for new might help - in all the pistons, not just the easy one to get to - also if the piston was hard to push in it may still be dragging or not moving at all. I spent a good few hours working a seized piston in and out to get it to work.

A  seized piston might also mean its leaking, or will be as soon as you free it.
