brake calipers...front...backwards
is it possible to accidentally put the left front and right front calipers on the wrong side?.... i was looking at them and seen that the bleeders are at the bottom of the calipers....... i figure that might be my problem..... it would make sense if the bleeder was at the top to let the air out.......

That's not too bad. You would have realized when you went to install the hoses.
The rears go with the T/A line connection at the rear.

I don't thing they can be installed backwards
Forget it you are just turning the calipers upside down. I was mounting them on the back of the wheel instead of the front.
