A ruler not at home is still a ruler. And being in Lórinand was as well a mission for gaining influence, in which she did succed. So I don't see that this contradicts here statement of being mightier in Middle-earth.
And any how, if that contradiction is their it is not created by our editing but inherent in the text itself. Thus we would not correct it at all, because it would be JRR Tolkiens own contradiction.

Respectfully
