Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Problem

So i ordered GTS Breytons Rims 2 weeks ago.
The place i went to mounted them and put my stock TPMS in the new rims. Everything was fine and no lights showed. 3 days later i got a nail in my rear tire and the dash and yellow light showed up. Nevertheless, I ordered another tire from the tire rack.

I just mounted the new tire on the rim that had the nail in it. However, the dash and yellow light is still showing up! It says 'tire low'.

Suggestions?

Anytime a wheel comes off, or you change the pressure, you need to reset the TPMS. Just use the control on the steering column to choose the TPMS reset option, then push the button in.

To reset you actually have to reset it and drive around a little since it doesn't just reset instantly. What are the actual psi readings on all 4 wheels?
