Where to monitor tranny temps

I'm wondering where to get best temps for tranny-------------right now I have sensor in port on pass. side of tranny and gauge seems to work fine with my max temp reaching about 190* towing my 30TT but I'm wondering if that is the best place for it. I do have the cooler line with fitting for sensor but cant get it to work------I guessing it's not grounded-----and someone also said to get tranny pan with port and put sensor there.

Thanks
JIM
