it can take some time before all air is out, let it idle for 10 minutes (with cap off), wait for the thermostat to open and look for bubbles, when it burps top up coolant after the thermostat has opened up, do this until no bubbles appear anymore

If your coolant levels are ok & you're not boiling over into the overflow, i'd be checking the coolant temp sensor
