You can try this kickdown cable adjustment. I needed to PB Blast the Release Button to get it to release/adjust.

You may have other issues but try the free adjustment first.

Let me do some lookin

Check it for codes and see if it had a output shaft speed sensor code. The sensor and bad connections at the sensor are also known to cause late shifting.

I scanned it a few times with a snap on scanner and got no codes
