Tell me what you guys think
 
I'm not sure your fittings are setup right on the top rad. It looks like two fittings are on the same side. You'll need one to enter one side and exit the other across from it in order to utilize the radiator.
 
... are you 100% sure damn I already setup everything have the loop going just was at bleeding stage but ****

I must have drained and refilled this thing like over 15 times already rechanging stuff this is insane
 
Yep Jack is correct if you really have the radiator listed it is a Cross-flow radiator which is designed to take water in one side and come out the other end. Most radiators are a double pass meaning the water runs down one side loops around and comes back on the other side which keeps both connection ports on the same end of the rad. A crossflow radiator is either going to be a single or triple pass radiator so the hookups will have to be on either ends. Sorry it looks like you are going to have to tear down and reroute things.
