Thanks for the responses. So I first filled the ATF with the car cold, then ran it, then filled up again (2nd time) until the fluid came out of the fill hole (and the car was angled nose-down a bit even for this second fill, to get a bit more in) but now, after that second fill, that's where we are.

Also, about the o-ring/seal, yes, that was tough, but I replaced it. I collapsed it on one side, then grabbed it with some needle nose pliers and installed the new seal that came with my new filter (a Febi kit from FCP Euro). Initially, the new filter tube was tough to push in but I kept it nice and straight, put some new AFT on the seal to lubricate it and then pushed it, I'm pretty sure it's not my problem.
