Since she has a prolapse and is a bit dirty, I would also place her in a pan of warm soapy water to soak and clean her up. Always keep the prolapse moistened with something like vaseline or hydrocortisone cream.

A stuck egg can put pressure on the ischiatic nerve and the hen may show a limp regarding her left leg.

I hope she will recover soon with the additional calcium citrate.

She is also passing waste quite well and it looks healthy - that's a good sign right? I'd have thought she's likely not egg bound if she can do that

I think that she is not egg bound if she is pooping normally. If she has some salpingitis or egg yolk peritonitis with masses of internally laid egg material, those can also put pressure on nerves. It is hard to know for sure.
