It may even out a little as she matures, but she'll likely always be high in the rear. For many dogs it's not that big a deal, and you can do some gentle conditioning work to help her learn rear end awareness and build core strength to help support her structurally - gentle is the key while she's still growing, though! This work will also likely help some with the clumsiness, though some of that is just being a growing puppy who isn't used to her body yet.
If you're on Facebook, the group Canine Conditioning and Body Awareness Exercises is very helpful. If you have access to a canine physiotherapist or chiropractor and can reasonably afford the splurge, it might be worth getting her evaluated so they can offer you a personalized exercise program. But keep in mind that this is above an beyond stuff - if you're not seeing evidence of pain or difficulty doing certain kinds of movements/exercises (beyond her being a little awkward and clumsy), it's absolutely not necessary, especially if you're not planning to do physically demanding work or sports with her (agility, flyball, mushing, etc.).
