@Michael
several things can be at play here...
you may not be using adequate grease on the o-rings when packing the cartridge, I prefer using Green Grease brand and use the skewer method:

Another potential problem is that you may have over tightened the lower cap which secures the shock cartridge on the shock body, you want it snug, but not so tight that is squashes the o-rings and causes them to bind with extra "stick-tion", make sure each shock shaft glides super smooth before you fill the shock with fluid.
Also make sure the o-rings haven't swelled up on you, some brands of grease tend to cause the o-rings to puff up and swell causing extra "stick-tion" too, replace your o-rings if this is the case... note that Green Grease brand will not make the o-rings swell
Re-pack and apply fresh grease on the seals every time you rebuild your shocks, smoother is faster.
Good Luck!
Many good videos out there (YouTube) on building bladder shocks with no rebound. Plug that phrase in the search box, and have a go at it. I prefer emulsion/bleeder caps for the ease of getting zero rebound. I've watched a lot of videos of top drivers build their shocks and there are definitely many ways to get same outcome. The most recent video that I've watched (that closely resembles what I do with my shocks that use bladders) was TLR showing both bladder, and emulsion shocks bleeding. I've not done the pinky finger on top of the bladder while pushing on the shock shaft thing, but will be doing that with my latest bladder shocks.
