Have you tried to simply lift the hide right over the spot she has chosen? Also, she is doing a common move for a tort...she is digging down along side the enclosure solid wall side....very normal as well....

Also, from the pic, it appears that the hide may be too close to the front glass..in other words, it appears she can not walk between the glass and the corner of the hide with ease??? perhaps it is simply the pic...have you also tried to turn the hide so that the wide opening is pointed/somewhat over the favored spot and this will allow the tort to feel truly hidden from view???
