There should be a big bolt on the top of the trans stamped ATF to fill it.
If you can't find it, pour the fluid in through the dipstick tube (you will
need a funnel with a really small hole on the bottom).

Be sure you are checking the level correctly - Honda automatic transmissions
do everything, including checking the fluid, differently from every other
car maker.
