might be hard to tell from the pic but does the trans fluid look low here?
#trans fluid level

this was after driving it for 20+ min at highway speeds and shifting through the gears

Why doesn’t anyone post the year make and model of their vehicle?

Not necessarily. Some transmission need to be checked while the car is running, like my car.
And some need to be checked after reaching operating temp and going through the process shifting through the gears like you said, but not running.

Some cars have special fluid top up/change procedures. Also there are some which you can only check when running or at a certain temp.

Yep 100% true
@viscid lake seems okay, might need a top-up. I would double check either on a mustang only Reddit or check in/if you have a more expanded owners manual.

Do you know if it is to be checked while running, off hot, or off cold?
