Robert,
I got it! The mistake I was making was pushing the thumbstick sideways (since she had to go sideways), instead of back, so the arm she had free was the left, not the right. Also, I couldn't see the blue target. I did think it was kind of strange that she couldn't really see the target she was aiming for! Now I have to learn to sway back and forth, your video will be very helpful for that.
Can't tell you how much I appreciate your help.
