Are the calipers on the correct sides, bleed nipples need to be at the top of the caliper.

That is the problem, you can not bleed the system if the bleed nipples are at the bottom. Swap them round and they will bleed up fine.

It supposed to be quite common to have a bit of travel/spongy pedal with V6 brakes. Braided hose are supposed to help with that.

They are about £40 you can get them from LMF Vauxhall, or Courtney probably do them too.
