Maybe this is the actual problem, not the repair.

Have you eyeballed the pads while someone presses the pedal?

Ran those pads for 6 months, would they just cause issues right away like that ?

I meant to see that the pistons on both sides move the same amount. Press the pedal, stick a piece of paper in between each pad and rotor to see if one is binding. Stuff like that. Get closer to the problem. You might see that a caliper is cocked or a piston is not moving.

"blead the entire system, and finally gave up"

Are you sure you got them blead sufficiently? Maybe the side that isn't locking has air in it, and the otherside is compensating?
