Make sure he was bleeding from BOTH bleed ports on those calipers. Should bleed the outboard one first, then the inside bleed port. Also make sure to bleed using the pedal vs a vacuum or pressure pot. Then press the brakes a few times to build up pressure before starting the car for the first time.

Wow that is a messed up order to have to bleed the brakes in! I've always done farthest caliper from the fluid reservoir back around to the the closest.

I think it's because of the way they go through the VDC controller, you're bleeding out the farthest point first inside the controller and from that point it's individual lines to each caliper.

I forgot to update
The thing that was fixed it was to bleed it more than 3xs and bleed both blenders
