Nikon D750 set to auto ISO in manual mode.
Metering set on Matrix mode. ISO max set at 3200
Most all pictures come out over exposed, compared to setting ISO manually.
Camera settings are shutter speed around 1000-1600, Aperature F5.6 - F8 (Wildlife Photography with a 150-600 lens)
Any suggestions as to what else I need to adjust or what may be wrong?

Set ISO manually and forget about Auto ISO.
Check exposure compensation.

Lots of possibilities. Post a picture, but make sure you click on "(store original)" and be sure that the original Exif data is still attached. That gives us a very good chance of immediately spotting the cause.
But for starters check Exposure Compensation... Also try center weighted metering instead of matrix.
It is a good thing you did not give us examples and provide the EXIF data. I am always thrilled that people withhold info to allow us fellow UHH people to guess with scant info.... we just went over a similar situation it mudded along for 8+ pages. enjoy

Yes, you went out in the field with a camera in your hand and did not read articles on wild life photography.... did not look at UHH good field photos and check the ExIF data and get an guide from how the good ones were [camera] set... johnmac78, it is called self educate.
Apaflo above said it well.....
Google "camera setting for wildlife photography" and read and read and read... do some back yard hands on before wasting time in the "field."
Yes and without details information we can conclude that it's the operator error.

Then it is probably exposure compensation that you have to set to 0.
I use auto ISO on my sports pics with a max ISO of 3200, SS between 640 and 1250, but often I also adjust the exposure in camera and in PP. But the level of underexposure, which is more common than overexposure, is not significant but enough to need adjustment. The may be partly due to a lot of panning shots and consequent changing light conditions across the panning angle of about 90 degrees.
When you are in manual mode, that's exactly what is means. MANUAL, everything. Read your manual and practice.
What is the minimum ISO set to? I usually set my D500 at 100 and D810 to 64 ISO, top number 3200 or more. Set the perimeters correctly, compensation to 0 and give it another try.
there is no need to be rude by saying that "you did not read articles on wild photography and not be so presumptuous.to answer your question as a amateur photographer i suuggest that ,you can use an ISO of 3200 in low light photography.in wild life photography,you are better of using an ISO of 100 to 200 especially with your NIKON.i carry fuji's X-T1 mirrorless camera where i routinely use an ISO of 400 or even 800 some times.you can increase the shutter speed to 1/500 and the aperture around f/11.good luck
