Believe me, if you start the engine with the cooler
lines disconnected, you'll know immediately whether the fluid is flowing or not.
It will flow at a rather high rate.

But when I think about it, this might be a stupid
question cause the tranny is shifting perfectly. I don't think it will shift
correctly with one of those valves stucked, but since I am no expert when it
comes to automatic transmissions I might be completely wrong
here You're right !! If the tranny shifts as it must shift, don't
worry ... Problem with the cooler lines is that you can't see what is
inside when the transmission works ! The oil fittings are far above the level
of fluid when the engine is stoped, so, if you check after a while, all the
fluid is in the oil pan and you'll have only the fluid which remains in the
lines, because the converter valve is "closed" so the oil cooler lines are
also "closed".
Maybe with a clear hose, at the radiator ends, trans in D or
R and with rear wheel off the floor ?
