The right underside of her chin (on our right) is too large and full. This is mostly due to having too much reflected light there. The reflected light on the underside of her jaw nearest the viewer has been painted as too large an area, too bright and too cool in color. It is also in the wrong position and needs to be moved up and left a bit. Those changes will help you with the symmetry of the face.

Also, her face is too wide across the cheekbones. You've chosen to emphasize the cheekbones more than is really shown in the photo of your daughter (which she might approve of) but it harms the likeness.
