You probably have air in the sytem. Whenever you service your cooling system you need to let the car heat up and make sure your fans turn on and off. If you notice the car heating up to fast you have air in there. Be careful and relieve some air by opening the cap. Don't just pop it off if it's hot. Turn slowly. Anyways start it up with the cap off and fill up the radiator as needed.
