To begin with, you may have the clutch slave cylinder push rod adjusted too tight against the piston. If the push rod is preloading the clutch slave cylinder piston, the compensating port may be blocked which would trap the fluid in the line and slave cylinder.
You should be able to gravity bleed the system by removing the resivor cap and opening the bleeder on the slave.
It sounds like you have the push rod adjusted too far.
Using the butt of your hand, check to see if the clutch fork will move forward and push the piston in the slave clinder that will push the fluid up into the resivor of the clutch master cylinder. If it will not move, shorten the push rod length.
A proper adjusted clutch push rod will have a small petal freeplay but still allow the fork to more reward by hand.
I weld an additional nut on top of the factory nut to extend it if needed.
