Default brakes not bleeding. urgent

I'm done installing my hydraulic ebrake using a separate brake reservoir from wilwood.
I followed the normal procedure of bleeding brake but fluid won't drain out of each wheel. it seems like all the pressure goes to separate brake reservoir. Now I have a slight hole in the center of the reservoir cap (got it when I was pumping motive power bleeder to 10 psi on the original reservoir.)
Did I do something wrong?
When I pump the brake, the fluid inside of the OEM reservoir goes to wilwood reservoir.

if you see my other thread, it shows my set up.
I was going to get inline but that loses the abs.
if no one can help me with this and I can return em, then i have no choice but to go inline

i don't think so. i have wilwood brake master cylinder with CNC brake handle.
There's only one hole that fluid comes out in the master cylinder
i don't get why fluid won't come out of each wheel..there's no leak in the system.

i tried using the Motive bleeder on the wilwood reservoir. The fluid in wilwood goes to OEM reservoir. At one point, the lfuid starts boiling(?)

EDIT:I called SummitRacing about this problem. He was telling me that the hole in the wilwood reservoir cap is normal. The hole is used to vent air inside the reserv. The one i bought is just to hold fluid, not handle pressures. He seems to be right. As i press the brake, the fluid rises inside of the wilwood reserv but it's not made for that..

Any way to make this wilwood MC work?
