The reassembly should be the opposite of what your disassembly pictures show.
The sleeve is screwed in, then the piston is inserted as an assembly, then the boot, retaining washer, piston pusher and lever.
The RGM 13mm kit piston is different from the Andover 13mm piston in the video which also has no pusher.

If it isn't air escaping from the boot as it compresses then I don't know what it could be.
If the master cylinder has been filled and bled then there shouldn't be any air in the unit to leak past the piston.
