It's fine. Any higher and it will drain into the overflow anyways. When it's cold your radiator coolant level should be right below the overflow nipple and when you pull your overflow cap the coolant should be sitting on the cold marking on the level indicator hanging from the cap.
I have a question though... What is the hose to the right of your radiator cap? It appears to be resting on a sharp looking piece of metal/plastic on the engine side of your radiator.

I'm not talking about the metal line to the left going to the condenser. I'm talking about the large rubber line to the right that looks like a big a** radiator hose. Maybe I'm just having an extended brain fart, but, it's got me stumped! LOL!
Ya I think I had air in it cause I had people replace top and bottom hoses for the rad and I'm pretty sure they didn't purge the air after. I had huge air bubbles in the system.
These cars can sometimes be a pain to bleed out. I try and put mine on an incline when I bleed it to force as much air as possible out on the initial fill up.
Well after to new hoses andtrying to get the air out its the first time I seen the level drop when the thermostat opens since this engine was installed. I need to drive it around some and see XD.
