It should go to the highest point. Pinch the hoses and move them around and it will prob move.
Best thing to do is drain it enough to remove the pump and hook up a couple hoses to it and test it in the sink/tub. Try taking it apart again and rebuilding it. Mabye a gasket went bad and caused the impeller to jam.

one question if the pump is put in the place doesn it have the power to suck up the water?

It should if running right. The air pockets in the system may be stopping it from flowing. You need to test the pump or figure out a way to tip the rad around to see if it is vaporlocked.

if i lay the radiator flat the air should come out if it rite? alos should i do with with the pump on or off?

If the pump were up to par it would probably push it to the reservoir eventually, but it is a good idea to move things around and bleed them out before mounting.

These pumps are not designed to suck up water, they are submersibles and need to be on the bottom of the loop, or at least below the top waterline.

I think the simple answer is to drain the system, remove the pump and just stick the hose attatched to the intake of the pump in the sink (be sure there is water in the tube and the pump) and see if it "pumps". If it works, it's somewhere in the loop, if it doesn't then it's the pump.
