'We only know her' was accepted, but this seems to me to have a different connotation to 'we know only her' (if we only know her, we might not like her or see her very often, for instance).
Out of interest, how would one say 'only we know her' in Czech?

All 3 English words (only, just, but) given for 'jen' have multiple meanings and positions. But then, I'm only just beginning to learn...!
Ji is an inconstant clitic and can be used both in the weak (second) position and in the strong (first or final) position. See table 4.2 https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/~hana/bib/hana-diss-ch4.pdf
