I run full vacuum and reindex on largest table (50GB) while there was no server activities so I assume no transaction
washolding a lock on table since the full vacuum was able to run, anything where I should consider looking ?

Yes, in pg_stat_activity look for idle transactions that started long time ago.
To prevent vacuum from doing its job they don't need to lock the table, they could just prevent from cleaning "old" row
versions.
