1) Air still trapped in the cooling system, 2) a blown head gasket. - along with the new radiator, make sure all the caps are new, along with rubber hose to degas (overflow) bottle, otherwise radiator will be sucking air instead of cycling coolant.

It’s the shitty coolant resivour on these, if there is any crack that air is getting in, or if the radiator cap isn’t very tight on these it will make them overheat, common problem with these! Inspect the resivor and radiator cap- I bet that is your problem!
