Default Need help! Brake issue!

Hey everyone, I replaced my rear brakes, calipers and rotors today and also bled the brake system. I had to replace them due to a caliper locking and rotors needing to replaced anyway. I had some trouble with the rear right caliper bolts not going all the way but eventually got it down. I also had a caliper piston (old) jump out and shoot brake fluid everywhere.

Anyway after finishing the job I put the wheels on and turned the car on to move it into the driveway when the brakes went from being firm to straight to the floor with a sort of pop sound each time. I also noticed the brake light is on as if the ebrake was on which it wasn't. I'm sure I did the process right I've always done my brake jobs but this was the first time doing my 350z's and i can honestly say I struggled a bit. Any advice would be appreciated, also the front was not done since I ran out of time and I will not be moving it till about a week. Thanks in advance guys 😣

1st thing I'd check is make sure all bleed valves are tight. Your brake light is on likely bc low fluid level. Gl!

Bleed the system again with a motive bleeder, probably have air in there.
