If you are checking the transmission fluid when cold, it would be above the full level. But you should always check the transmission fluid when the engine is fully warmed up, engine on and parked on a level surface. So I suspect your are running slightly low on fluid, and checking on an incline.

Checking it cold and not running is the wrong way to check the fluid level.
