Because hydraulic brakes are a bit of a black box, I can't tell you whether the self-adjusting happens in the lever or the caliper, but it appears that's not functioning.
It's almost certainly trapped air or maybe contamination. Tapping the lever and caliper with something hard while bleeding, in addition to changing the angle of the bike around, might do it.
