her 1912 GMT call, "Must be on you but cannot see you", gives affirmation that she only 'thought' she was at or lateral to Howland but there is absolutely no proof that she was there at all
Agreed. She very clearly was not above or near Howland, or she'd have seen the huge smoke plume from Itasca. She was short of there, by many dozens of miles. If she'd overflown, she'd have seen the smoke. Ergo: she did not get that far, or was wildly off-track (or perhaps both).

She certainly pursued her belief that she could find the island for as long as her few remaining tens of minutes of fuel dwindled.

No indication of an intent, or ability, to divert many many hundreds of miles to a night-time landing in the jungly mountains of PNG.

I haven't searched for the other three Wright Cyclones
Your self-appointed search area is that of the B-17 crash. You are competent to find the other three B-17 engines in your search area.

Go get 'em!
