Brake pedal slowly sinks after new front pads.

Akebono fronts, fluid recently changed, nice hard pedal before.

Brakes were worn to the pad trigger. I C-clamped the pistons to compress them and I didn't open the master cylinder cap (none of the vids I watched mentioned it)

Now brakes are spongy, pedal will sink if held (slowly). When driving I can pump the brakes and they get harder but stopping power is reduced...I can still stop, and the brakes feel hard but I have to stand on them to stop.

Bled the brakes, clean fluid and no bubbles seen.

Did I mess up my master cylinder when I compressed the piston?
