Manual Transmission Oil Change

I have a 2017 Mini Cooper S Countryman all4 (F60) with the 6-speed manual transmission. My research tells me that the tranny is an Aisin-sourced product, NOT the typical Getrag 6-speed manual found in most Gen 3 Minis. I need to change the tranny fluid. I know the correct new fluid to use. I can see the drain plug on the lowest part of the housing.
BUT, WHERE IN THE FILL LOCATION???
There are no other usual threaded fill plugs to be seen in the customary sides of the transmission case, like in the Getrag version.
So, how do you re-fill the tranny once you drain the fluid??
Thank you.

not sure if this helps, but here's what I found on TIS:

Thank you.
At least, I know that it can actually be done. Now, I've just got to spend time looking for that fill plug location.
Thanks, again.
