If the rod is too long the brakes will not release. My friend smoked his new brakes because of this issue. So if yours is not the correct length it would be too short.
With so many different parts your issue could be some where else? Even with a rod installed that isn't the correct length the fronts are working. And the system bled. I suspect some other issue.

Every thing is new but the rear flexible line. I would confirm it's condition or just replace it before moving one.
Best of luck.
