Posterior presentation is perfectly normal. Do not interfere too quickly. Encourage her to continue pushing. If she stops pushing and the water bag is broken and pup is more than halfway out, you may want to grasp the pup with a warm wet wash cloth and apply pressure ( don't pull) to encourage her to push the rest of the pup. If that doesn't work, then it is okay to use some KY on your goved finger and work it around the vaginal opening while applying preassure in the direction of natural birthing.
A pup coming through the vaginal opening head up, is a little more to be concerned with as you'll have to gently turn the pup, with contractions, to head down position.
