Granted, after calling her out, need to do a bit of explaining, but fact remains that touching the white base only is a missed base appeal.

I haven't had this, but came close this weekend in a tourney. Girl touched white bag only, but throw beat her, so she was out anyway. Told coach to make sure she knows to touch red bag when going to first.

NO.

You would only call BR out if F3 touched first AND appealed that the runner missed the base. What you are describing is what used to be called an "accidental appeal" in another similar smaller-ball sport, but even there is no longer recognized. A live-ball appeal must be an APPEAL, and it must be obvious.
