With adjustments I can make the girl come out great but I can't remember a good technique to fix the background issue since one of the lights didn't flash.

I even followed the link to Photobucket and the image there is small too. Try using a different host that will not resize your photo and post a link to a larger version.

I also think that brightening the background would draw the viewer's eyes away from the subject to the background. I also think it wouldn't be enough to lighten the background, you would also have to lighten her hair, for example, to give the illusion of light coming from her left side.

The current shade of gray just doesn't look good IMO,
