Id maybe check for any lack of coolant and/or and coolant leaks perhaps.
Have you checked the thermostat is installed 100% (not imlying you didn't don't get me wrong) But could have popped out.
Hope you solve the prob

Check for any leaks around your new rad hoses, sensors, stat, also replace your expansion bottle cap for a new one.
