Help! Transmission fluid change gone wrong...maybe?

Went to do my first transmission fluid change on my new to me 2002 986 5 speed manual this evening.

Took me a while to find the fill plug, and it wasn't exactly what I expected:





I drained the old fluid out of the drain hole. Then went to put the new fluid into this fill hole. Having pumped in a gallon of fluid I'm starting to think this wasn't the right filler hole...

I decided to reitre from it for the night before I do any more damage, but can anyone here help let me know where I've just pumped a gallon of transmission fluid. And how disastrous this might be?
