over filling transmission oil?

hello,
i have a question regarding to an automatic transmission oil change.
so i have recently been to a local garage for a 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, today when i was filling up at a gas station i popped up 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

where the transmission oil level sits is fine, you will not damage the transmission by having the fluid level filled slightly over like that.

Probably when the mechanic that worked on the car changed the oil, he did not check the oil level with the transmission being hot.

Regardless I wouldn't worry about it.
