One thing I have found with the shocks is to always refit the shock spring bottom and seat the retaining rubber (just like u would if a spring was fitted) but without the spring. Then fill shock and move shaft up and down to release any air and wait until its clear if bubbles then top up the shock until the oil domes then screw the cap in fully
Then take the bleed screw out and keeping the shock upright push the shaft slowly up allowing oil to bleed freely from the cap until your about 2-3mm from the rubber stop on the shaft meeting the shock. Then get the screw ready by the hole and push the last of oil out and quicky fit the screw. They should be right then
Reason for doing it this way is that this the rubber boot and the cap actually limit the shock so this way helps match the volume of oil based on the stroke of the shaft. This should fix your problem
