I just changed my radiator, thermostat, and my radiator hose, but my temp gauge says that my car is still running hot like my antifreeze is not flowing properly. Can you please tell me whats wrong and how do i fix this problem?

you may have damaged the head gasket or cracked the head from overheating. get a leak down test done to confirm.
