Having problems with ATO when the water level gets to the point were the ATO kicks on in the sump(pump chamber) it fills up shuts off,after a couple times of this it fills up the level in my display tank and then the display level will be to high and eventually flow over, return line is working fine and synced if the power goes off,I've played with the pump speed and still keeps doing it.

In the arena.
where is (are) your float switch(s) ? If in the sump they need to be in a "true" section, like the return pump chamber. If it the DT, sounds like there is a delay in leveling out.

What is the size In gallons of the DT and sump?
That’s the right place to have it but it sounds like you have very little “headroom”
Or wiggle room in the volume of top off amount that goes in. Either that, or the pump is moving it so quickly to the DT that the top off is not able to get to the sensor in time to reduce the amount it puts in to prevent overflow.
I recommend lowering your sensor by about a 1/2” or 1”

This is how I have set it up - works very well
However I do not think this is your issue. I think that your drain line down to the sump does not swallow your pumps flow. I would test to have lowest thinkable flow from the pump and test if this work. Which diameter is your drain line - which flow have your pump. Is your overflow/drain line sucking in air?
