I’m no sugar glider expert, but it seems like you are doing just fine with your new friend.
They can form very strong bonds to people, and just the fact that you take her out and let her hang with you is doing some good.
Sugar gliders are nocternal, so it’s hard to play with them when they need it. I guess I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Ya that should be. That’s how my guy usually is. He just falls asleep on me and every once in a while he will just run all over me and get brave sometimes and try to jump onto things! But ya that’s about what I do with mine, just because it’s all the time I have with school and work and all!

I always tell people to spend as much time as possible with them on you during the day. My goal is to keep them on me for 4 hours while they sleep in the day. At night, at least an hour of playtime.
In reality, the amount of time you are spending with her is okay, but keep in mind this is another 22 hours of the day she is alone. Some lone gliders do fine, but others can get depressed (as I’m sure you’ve read).
If you want her to be more interactive with you when she’s awake, go to target or walmart and get a $25 kids tent. Take in some toys like feathers and some treats, and since the area is small she’ll be interacting with you to play and climb around.
