Default Mushy brakes after changing rotors and pads on a 2012 S60 T6 R-Design

Hey everyone!

Does anyone know what would cause the brakes to be mushy after changing out the rotors and pads?

The cat stops still, but the brake pedal is noticeably mushy, and will depress all the way to the floor, eventually, if I keep pressing on it...almost as though there's a pressure leak, or something to that effect.

We did bleed the brakes starting at the passenger rear, zig-zagging to the driver front, and that didn't fix it.

you may need to use a power bleeder - I suppose its possible some air got into the master as well.
