7th Gen GT Bleeding Procedure

I just changed my radiator (broke), thermostat, and hoses for the first time. Turns out the previous owner was not running a thermostat in the car, yet I never overheated prior.

I followed the bleeding procedure from under the hood and when I turned on my car I noticed that only one of my fans (the one closest to the cruise control) was the one turning on and off. I also noticed that the reservoir was not bubbling either. Is this normal? Do both fans have to turn on before you place the cap and bleeder valve or just one of them?

The temp gauge went slightly above normal operating temperature when I started reving to 3k RPM. After the first time the temp went up, I stopped shut off the car and waited for a bit, but the reservoir started going down and the check engine light turned on.

Are these the hiccups part of the bleeding procedure? Tomorrow when I try again should I just push through if the temp slight goes up? Any advice?
