Is my Highlander ATF level too high

Vehicle:  2013 Highlander  135,000 miles

I just had transmission service (pan/drop and filter change) done on my son's vehicle.  Fortunately, there was a transmission dipstick!  I checked the ATF level after driving home (5 minutes, 2 miles) and the dipstick showed level to be about 1/4 of an inch above the max line.  Is this a problem?  If it is, how do I adjust the level to the max line?  Thank you-

Is this a problem?

If you checked it correctly, yes

suck it out the dipstick tube


The dipstick tube is very long - how would I do that? P.S. I'm not a mechanic! Thank you-


I'm not a mechanic either, but I would use a long thin tube and maybe a big syringe or oil transfer hand pump

With a fluid extractor.
