No. I run a 4,000 stall with a small external cooler that's not looped in with the factory cooler and the only way I see 210 is if I make 3 quarter mile runs back to back to back without shutting it off. Basically three hot laps.
Driving on on the street 160 is usually as hot as it gets and that's on a hot day.

No I removed the stock cooler cuz it was pretty beat up basically I followed the instructions and hooked up the radiator line to the bottom and the transmission side on the top but I feel as if the transmission fluid is flowing at the same temp as the coolant.

Well all I did was disconnect the stock cooler lines one from the radiator, and one from the transmission and hooked them up to the new cooler as directed on the manual, I mounted it right in front of the condenser

The stock cooler is in the radiator that's what the lines are running into the radiator. You will want to bypass that cooler and put plugs in those locations. So you will have your transmission line coming out of the transmission into the 70264 then right back into the transmission.
How are you measuring temps?
Next make sure the cooler is not laying flat against the condenser. Have about 1/2in. gap between them.

200-210 degrees is definitely on the hot side weather driving normal or pounding on the car with a higher stall

If you drive in the winter in 20 degree weather and bypass the stock cooler you may only see tranny fluid temps of around 60-80 degrees which is not good. But in warmer conditions the stock cooler will have no problem heating up your transmission fluid when it's 90 degrees outside and your coolant temps are 210+.
