Default swaped calipers over now handbrake light on

so as the title the mrs blob had a jammed caliper, 2 pistons were stuck so got two new 4 pot calipers and swapped over there just now, then took cap of fluid and got the pedal pumped until through calipers then a wee clear tube on nipple and opening and shutting until i thought all air out, seems to be fine but the handbrake light has come on all the time now even when off.

any quick pms welcome, or why this has happened, i dont have a one man kit hence the missus pushing pedal
