Default need help with air springs

I replaced the left front airspring and shock, removed jack mode everything filled and pressurized, as soon as I lowered the car off the jack all pressure was lost and it went right back to sitting against the wheel well, any ideas as to what else I can do or what might need to reviewed and fixed, get really frustrated. I love my car hate the problems

Hi, Did you ever resolve this problem? Something similar has happened to me. I put the car in lift mode, then jack mode, when I started to lift it up I could hear lots of air from the drivers front strut. When I lowered it down, it bottomed out. I set the ride back to adaptive and left it over night. I think the whole car dropped a little but nothing to serious. Just wondering what you found, thanks.
