As far as remember its via the yellow handled dip stick, you'll need a long funnel for best results.

When I had my 2012 version, the CVT fluid went in via the dipstick tube.  I had a 2 foot length of tubing with a funnel on the end to slowly pour the fluid in.  I always took note of how much I'd removed through the sump plug though, to ensure I didn't over-fill.  Little and often is the way to go until you reach the level.

YouTube should answer your question.  Pretty sure you fill via the "level plug" until it just starts to dribble out. IIRC it's on the front of the g/box halfway up.  Advice is to make sure you can undo that plug BEFORE  draining the fluid. You need some sort of oil pump or pipe and funnel to fill, I have a Sealey manual big syringe thing, costs around £13 if you shop around,  invaluable tool.

Seem to remember seeing a video of a Honda gearbox oil change where the filler was a black plasic/rubber plug with a curly 'handle' on top. Under the air filter.
The 'mechanic' spent a long time dealing with removing the air cleaner and associated air pipes to access and expose this plug!
Filling seemed to require removing a level plug on gear box, parking on a flat surface (with wheels back on ground??), then filling sloooowly until oil dribbles out of level plug hole (or, I guess, you've poured in a volume equal to what was drained out)
All sound a bit of a phaff

I just got mine done by the Honda dealer. Fixed price of £160 ( as of Oct 2023 ) which I didn't think is to bad considering the genuine Honda CVT oil is £100 just for that.
