Have you bleed fluid from the rear as well as the front? Also the rear brakes if there are drums may need adjusting

Lots of possibilities.

First inspect all the brakes, ensure nothing worn out and no leaks.

Then as said, properly adjust rear shoes if you have drums.

Then bleed them from back left then back right then FL then FR. (furthest from the MC first)
