On you proportioning valve there should be a small arm that connects to the suspension. Can you locate this arm?

yes i think so. I turned the arm to the position that looks like it used to be at going by the mark on the arm. But i still don't have any fluid at the caliper

Try pushing the arm up to the approximate position it would be in if the vehicle were on the ground and see if you get any fluid then.
