Hi Will 👋 I'm not sure there's a lot you can do to help her get over the shopping but... I would say finding her happy place as quick as you can is probably the best way to help her acclimatise! 💚
I don't know much about them but I do know they like FULL sun 🌞 (nice to find a plant that does! Lmao 🤣) and when potted watered quite often so her soil doesn't dry out completely. She likes moving air and mid to high humidity (above 50%!). I wouldn't repot her for a least a couple of weeks, let her settle in first (as repotting is a whole other kind of shock, and she doesn't need it right now! Lol 🤣)and when you do I'd go for a coir/ perlite/ fine bark mix
Hope that helps a little! If you can find a spot where she getting the right light you can work on the rest. And read up! Lol I grabbed that info in 10 minutes so I'm sure there's lots of good guides out there to help you, here's just one of them

Well... they actually don't like full sun, more like partial shade
