Did you fit the brakes and shorten the hose yourself? If so I would have thought it would be a bleed issue. Its easy enough to do yourself but you do need the right bits.
Given you should only need to do it once and given the cost of the bits you need you may want to just take it to your lbs.
The only other thing to check is that there is no oil leaking from the pistons. Some XT brakes seem to fail here for some reason and it generally happens early on in their life. If they don’t fail early they tend not to ever fail.
Would be a warranty return if they are.
Bite point adjustment does not really do anything to be fair.
