No oil pressure with remote filters

I just installed a dual remote filter setup on my 318la.

I filled both filters full; primed the lines; cranked it for a good minute (on and off) and still nothing. I even tried bleeding the filters and lines. I have oil being pumped to the filters. still nothing. even took the mechanical gauge line off to bleed it from there maybe and after cranking for 15 to 20 seconds nothing.
the filters are a 51515R wix
