Default Oil change question for 2.8L

Brought my '00 Avant in for oil and filter change, this AM. I checked the level later on, after the fact. They seemed to have overfilled, somewhat. The oil level is going past the the MAX arrow on the dip stick (point A, in the manual). I would say that the entire orange plastic on the MAX side of the dipstick has a coating of oil, but it does not go past this plastic piece. Do I have to worry about reducing the oil level, or not be concerned?
Thanks.
