How Much Transmission Fluid

How much Ford manual transmission fluid for IB/5 transmission in 2013 Fiesta SE? I put used transmission in my Fiesta. The owners manual says 2.2 quarts. Other sources say 2.3 quarts. One YouTube shows filling until it tops out at the plug hole where you fill it. I already pumped 2.5 quarts of the Motorcraft fluid in and it has not yet topped up at the hole.

Checked level again after the car was level.

Will having 2.5 quarts cause damage? Blow out seals?

I did get the transmission completely drained of all the fluid that was in it.

Owner’s manual says 2.2 quarts maximum. But any amount above that will leak out past the output shaft seals anyways.
