After the Fall of Beacon, Salem told Cinder that it was because of her maiden powers that she was affected by Ruby's SE powers. Cinder also did not have any Grimm parts at that time. If you argue that the Grimm bug still existed on Cinder's back...

The bug "Marked" her back, but why would it nest there? we have no indication it would have stayed there at all, and it absorbed into her body in the first place in her ARM. If the grim parasite was attached to Cinder's maiden powers however, in would have been emanating Cinder's "mask"... near Cinder's EYES. If you look at the episode in V3, Cinder freaks out and wonder's what's happening after her mask shuts off but BEFORE Ruby activates her SEW.
