I changed the filter and fluid I put in as much as I took out but now it won’t engage in 4 wheel drive and the check transmission light is blinking on the dash. I was told that I need to bleed the air out of the transmission but cannot get an answer to where the Bleeder Valve is located on the transmission.

You don't need to bleed the transmission, it sounds like you have added the wrong transmission fluid, can you confirm that you added.

Dexron-II Automatic Transmission Fluid

Also, do you have any warning lights on? If so, let's run the codes to see which ones are stored. This guide can help:
