Default Manual Trans (differential) fluid fill plug location?

Hey gang, I had a mechanic replace my driver's side CV axle and he said I needed to top off my transaxle fluid. I posted a video to youtube of where I think the plug is, can someone confirm this? Here's the link to the vid:

It's a 2010 mazda 6 4-door. Does anyone happen to know the size of the socket I need? Also, does anyone know where the drain plug is relative to this video?

Thanks!

23 or 24mm socket.

Drain bung on the bottom, fill bung on the front, 1/2 way up the transmission.
