Default Transmission Issue!!!

I have a 2008 base corvette with the 6l80e that i just changed the fluid in. When i drive it when its cold (90 degrees- 190 degrees) shifts through all the gears fine but undying hotter than 190 it won't shift into first. It through a p0751 code (solenoid A is off) and i can't find a new solenoid anywhere, or where it is located! Can someone please help me with the issue.

The first question to be asked is: Do you know and did you follow the correct procedure when changing and filling the fluid?
Next question: Did you change the filter?
Next: Did you replace the filter seal?

I have a gut feeling, but your answers might make me change my mind.

The first thing to check with a P0751 code is the fluid level. So being very specific, relate the exact steps in the order you took for the fill procedure and where did you find the info of how to do it. I'm not trying to discredit your ability, but I need to assure that no step in the process was missed or incorrect that could have a bearing on the fluid level. The web is full of mis-information on the process

While you're at it, did the filter get fully inserted to the point it "popped" securely into place?

The A6 fluid/filter change is not just a drain n refill procedure like most are used to doing.

I let a certified Tech do mine as it's such a pain to do without a lift.
