So after driving back from the Fest I noticed a fluid on my garage floor the following day. Upon further inspection I noticed one of external cooler lines had a drip hanging on it. I fixed the leak issue.

All that being said can I just add some more fluid to the transmission? Does it have to be the same brand? I am open to suggestions.

There is nothing wrong with mixing brands. As long as it is a similar in in all ways. And it is made for your transmission.
I personally don't change brands. I like to run the same brand fluid when ever I have to top off.
