possible over-filling ATF?

hello,
i have a question regarding to an automatic transmission oil change.
so i have recently been to a local garage for an engine and transmission oil change, i brought my own oil there, 4.4 litre of mobil 1 engine oil and 3 bottles of honda ATF Z1. everything seems fine at the shop and i paid and left. after driving around for a week or two everything seems perfect but today when i was filling up at a gas station i decided to pop the hood and check the oil level, the engine oil dip stick shows that the oil level is right at the full notch which is perfect. and then i checked the transmission oil dip stick and it shows that the oil level is approximately 0.4-0.5 cm above the full notch, would this cause problem?
thanks for reading

It could be higher because of heat. Let the fluid cool down then check. It is pretty hard to over fill if they filled per the instructions.
