Sounds like air is getting in the system.
Did you replace the o'rings on the hoses? or remove the pressure hose at all?

Nope literally just sucked the fluid from the reservoir with my suction pumpWhile it was empty to get the rest of the fluid out I moved the wheel left to right ducked the last little bit up and refilled itNope literally just sucked the fluid from the reservoir with my suction pump

Gotcha, if the system is free of air only thing to really consider here is a restriction (a lot of models have a screen in the reservoir) or a pump issue.

Normally when it's air related though it will only be temporary at start up and it will self bleed while driving.

Ok. So you do you think I should do the whole process all over again just to make sure?

Try getting some cheap clean fluid and removing the return line.
let the engine run and dump the existing fluid in a clean container while you poor in new fluid until the return is showing clean fluid
then let it drain out a few second and cut it off.
put new fluid in and perform a bleed.
