MP 101 mixing project - key change issues

i'm doing the mix project for MP101. I am using raw vocals from my song that hs been prodcued already and recreating it as an acoustic mix (4 acoustics, 1 Lead Vocal). I have done a volume mix, and I've completed vocal dynamic gain staging. The problem before even getting to using compression / limiing etc, is that the key change after the bridge for th exit chorus is a bit of a belter. She's end nearly end of range in her vocals, but very consistent. It sounds "loud" but it isnt peaking at -14 dbs in the master bus just like the earlier choruses. Shes stepped away from ht emic, I guess. I cannot get it to it nicer into the mix now and it seems too different to the rest of the sections, louder (her effort/performance), but objectively quieter roughly same as other sectionsm- but just seems to drop lower than the other sections. are there any specific elements and techniques i need to consider for key changes when gain staging vocal dynamics and volume mixing - i did the volume mix first (as per videos) but I think ding vocals first might feel right for me - i guess it doesn matter?

original production here: https://s.disco.ac/kmpgoyoisdgm and my mix is attached (eek, its bad - lol)

thanks for any help
