Got them on mate? Lets have some more pics!
I've had the same problem before, and also used a syringe, but in a different way:
Attach a syringe (via a piece of clear tubing) to the bleed nipple on each caliper, and suck the air out, drawing the fluid through...worked really well for me!
How do the bars feel? What position have you got them in?
