The reed should be positioned to where just a sliver of the mouthpiece shows. You can stick the reed higher, but that is just to make soft reeds play a bit harder.

An M30 Lyre and a 5RV Lyre aren't really that different in the facing, just in the chamber, from my experience. The M30 Lyre plays like a dark 5RV Lyre I think. I've played both for a long time. If you're convinced and her teacher is as well that she needs a new mouthpiece, I highly recommend the new Reserve mouthpieces. However, I can't really diagnose any playing issues without hearing her play and seeing her play.

Don't rush getting a new instrument. . I played on a student instrument up until I started college, and won a scholarship with it, along with principal spots in many honor bands. The player is the most important variable by far.
