Default Is my hamster actually a (she)?!?

Pringle is my first hamster so I’m not expert at working out the sex, however i’m having doubts that Pringle is actually a female as stated by the pet store. A couple days ago and gave a quick check to see everything is all healthy. I noticed ‘her’ scent gland was quite noticeable and slightly yellow. After looking a lot online I read that scent glands usually aren’t as noticeable in females, and now that Pringle is a few months old the shape of her bottom seems slightly more like that of a male? As i’m not an experienced owner I was hoping if anyone could help me. I will attach a few images, I tried gently turning Pringle over but ‘she’ doesn’t seem to like it so couldn’t get any clear images and I don’t want to keep doing it as I don’t want to stress her. I’ve tried using a glass jar as well to check however Pringles belly is so fluffy it’s hard to tell.
