Overheating After Radiator Replacement

Hi Guys, i changed my radiator after it started leaking form the tank top but car is still overheating, how can i solve this issue

How did you purge your cooling radiator and coolant pipes?

Did you check your thermostat or replaced it (maybe it's stuck and not opening correctly?)

Did you keep the origonal cap from your old radiator?

yes i purged the system, Ive not gotten a thermostat i removed it as i look for one when i drive the car overheats till 99 Degrees then the fans turn on cools it a bit but when i stop and check the reservoir coolant tank the coolant has risen to top of the tank

When filling the coolant are you squeezing the lower radiator pipe? Also, when bringing it up to temp, put the heaters in the car on max speed and the hottest setting. This will help force air out of the heater matrix
