This event says nothing about princess Beatrice's place in public and private precedence. Catherine and Sophie were hosts of this event, Beatrice helped them.
It was a public engagement and so public precedence applied - and that was seen here quite clearly.
Imagine if the Queen or Camilla had been there - would they have been pushed back behind the 'hosts' - no - public precedence would apply.
We have seen that often enough when the Queen has been hosted somewhere by Charles - Charles didn't take precedence over his mother as the host but took his precedence from the public precedence he holds.
