There's 2 bleeders on each caliper, use the top ones. Unless for some reason the calipers are on the wrong sides (causing the bleeders to be upside-down).

correct. top and bottom. two bleeders per rear caliper. i would remove the calipers and clean and inspect them as well as make sure the bleeders are not seized. i use a little bit of heat to feee them if they're tight.
