Since you had the pump apart there is some small chance that it has “lost its prime”. You can remove the outlet pipe bolts, pull it back and try to get some oil into the pump and see if it will start moving the oil.
The oil in the transmission should be around the same level as the pump so gravity should be feeding it nearly to the pump. You could take the inlet pipe loose and make sure that oil is getting to the pump. I don’t recall that the oil ran out of the pipe when I removed my pump now that I think about it though…so may not help.
These are both low cost, easy checks but can make a oily mess and are in the slim chance end of spectrum of solutions.
