Overheating at the Stop Light

Car just started getting almost to 260temp at stop lights the car seems to run great and cools right down to temp when moving.

Could the new tranny cooler cause a problem or suspect the thermostat.

Doubt it's the tranny cooler, I'd make sure the fans are coming on, nothing blocking the radiator, radiator cap holding pressure, coolant level, thermostat...
