She will forgive you. I would definitely not clap or snap fingers with her... she sounds very sensitive and those types of noises can instill fear in her. You may be able to work at desensitizing her to those sounds and especially begin to disassociate them with bad behavior down the road when she's older. Some dogs/pups can take it but some can't and they get scared and will begin to run and/or hide from their owner.
