2002 Maxima A/C system not cooling

I have a 2002 Maxima SE and the A/C system is not cooling at all. I have an upgraded condenser and I just replaced the expansion valve the other evening. There are no leaks in the system and the air compressor does cut on. I replaced the low pressure switch on the condenser as well recently. I put new refrigerant in the system and everything seems to work but the system just does not cool at all. All I get is hot air through the vents. the temperature control works as I can slide it over to heat and the air is super hot. I can slide it down to max A/C and the air cools some but the air is not cold. I have checked all fuses and relays and everything seems fine. I'm out of options and need any advice that anyone can offer!

Not an expert here but have you checked the evaporator to see if there are any clogs?

I can send a copy of the diagnosis section of the service guide if you think it will help.

Also just curious where you got an upgraded condenser and how well it fit?
