A bit of nibbling anything new, including hands is normal, I think they're more inclined to bite a fist than a flat hand tbh so I'd would just try laying your hand flat, unmoving, with a seed or mealworm or something on it & she may well just walk onto your hand.
I wouldn't make any changes in the cage now unless it's really necessary, adding substrate is fine but changing anything else could set things back as she's settling in.
