do yourself a favor.....
do not, under any circumstances, tell her she is limp wristing, or however you want say that.....
I think that Charles might have the better handle on it.
keep in mind that not ever gun is meant for every person. my husband could not for the life of him understand why I couldn't fire his carry weapon more that a few times without pain, it's because it's a much heavier gun than anything I've every shot before, it tires my hand.

It's a simple physics problem. The recoil is not being met with equal and opposite force, and the recoil spring is unable to fully compress as a result.
When you're shooting, you add (forgive me) considerable mass to the equation, and can apply proper opposing force during the reaction.
For this gun, she needs to change her stance, tighten her grip, lock her wrist, and lean in a bit. Shift her center of gravity forward in order to apply the necessary opposite force this stiffer spring requires.
It's difficult to tell from the videos, but do you have the larger backstrap installed, or the slimmer one?
If the larger, her hand may have a hard time getting a full grip behind the gun, and still reach the trigger.
Try changing to the slim, and the problem could go away on its own.
If using the slim, follow advice above.

She was merely trying out this gun, not unlike taking a spin in a car you don't own just to check it out,
so it was not at all her 'go-to' defense gun. Matter of fact it isn't mine either but dang, it's a good shooter!
She has small hands, so finding something that fits can often be challenging. What has worked for her in the past
is an LC-9, Beretta Px4, and an M&P 40 Shield. Ok, she doesn't know the last one is coming in from Santa Claus. Today when I put the 45 in question back in her hand, I noticed that she did indeed need to rotate her hand more or less counter-clockwise to compensate for not being able to completely reach the trigger. Not a lot, but enough that there's noticeable asymmetrical pressure in relation to the left side.
