The reed should be positioned slightly below the tip of the mouthpiece, the position can be slightly tweaked to account for the inconsistency of individual reed's strength. The 5RV is a fine mouthpiece for someone who is starting out. In a couple of years she may want to look into other options but for now I wouldn't worry.

Reed strength may be the factor that she should adjust. For a beginner on a 5rv lyre, id say anything from a 2 1/2 to a 3 1/2 should work well, this of course depends on what brand and cut of reeds she is using
