did you bench bleed the master cylinder ? don't press the pedal more than a few inches , not all the way anyhow , there's air in the system still or the pads have to "set " and that can take a lot of pumping , but go easy , I've done brakes and took off without setting them , YIKES ! !
Well if you're sure you don't have anything leaking then you most likely have air still trapped in the system. Did you bench bleed the MC? If not, it can push air into the ABS unit, and those often require a special tool to bleed. Not bench bleeding an MC can also result in air still trapped in it, and a soft pedal.

Yes no leaks, also I did bench bleed the mc. My scan tool has no option to bleed the air out of abs
