Thanks for the video. She seems very athletic. What I see that may help.
1. When she rocks back her weight shifts towards 3rd and not straight back.
2. Knuckles are not facing the catcher on the swing back or when the come back forward.
3. Ball is over her head (circle a little off)
4. Monkey butt towards 3rd.
5. 3rd base side of power line.
6. In the first video pronates real late. 2nd one is better.
Just my thoughts. Wish you and your DD the best.

Maybe a different thought...
I think of it like a tee shot...what's the difference at the point of contact between being in the middle of the fairway and the rough? An eight of an inch, a quarter of an inch? It's not a lot...repetition, feel, how you line yourself up. To me, it is similar pitching...throwing the same pitch inside or outside. I find it helps if you strongly encourage a focus on the target all the way through the motion...use your eyes to guide you. My quick math says from the center of home plate it is about 1 degree to one edge or the other. I don't think it is enough to really think about doing something different...it is feel and repetition. It seems to help to focus on the target from the start...so that the push, drive, landing, release are all directed by the target.
