Thank you. Trying to picture "her palm should face more away from her" but I can't. We are working on working her elbow up more so she can get behind, through the ball more and extend better. Can you please explain, this could be important?

I would shift your focus to the concept of "hip hinge". Jerry Brewer of East Bay Hitting used to talk a lot about it. In my opinion this is what creates space to get behind ball early and gives freedom to move/work through the ball. Right now her torso is basically vertical above her lower half.
