If you were given the wrong size screw you would not have
been able to tighten it enough to prevent fluid leakage.
The wrong size would probably not tighten at all.
If you are starting with new, empty brake lines, it takes
a long time to manually pump enough fluid through using
the brake lever. The best way to do this is with a power
bleeder, or a "mityvac" style vacuum bleeder.
If you don't want to buy one of these, use a long piece
of clear tubing. Attach the tubing to the bleeder screw
with a small hose clamp, and suck on the other end.
It works well, and quickly.
Use a LONG piece 3-4 feet, this helps to avoid getting
brake fluid in your mouth. That shit tastes BAD.
Also be sure to bleed the banjo bolts, as they trap air
within the small groove on the inside of the bolt.
