After I rinsed my Coco from a brick and then let it sit in a mixture of Cal mag solution that was ph'd at 6, my ph on my Coco was still at barely 4. How do I get my ph up in my grow medium which is Coco Coir and perlite?

I rehydrate my bricks using 2g CaNit/gal and 1g Epsom salt/g.
With my well water, it usually starts @ 6.5ph.
I let that soak overnight, drain and mix in about 25% perlite and into my storage tote.
I just ph my nutes to 6.0 and feed to run-off.
Works perfectly. I don't even look at run-off ph/ec.

Welcome to the forum! I too, am fairly new. Personally (and I won't take offense if anyone disagrees) but I wouldn't sweat it. You've got your coco/perlite charged. I use the prepackaged coco/perlite mixture...I never even considered what the PH was before I put a seedling in.
If I may be so bold, to recommend you put your setup in your "Byline". It will aid others to help you out.

You keep the ph in the right range by constantly watering at the desired ph, I grow in coco and aim ph 6
