There might be ways to have her retain her Aura, but lose her memories. Yes they are both very important, but they could say that they were seperate components. Even if they're both in her torso and adjacent, her memory banks might have been lower, and subsequently cut by the wires.

Alternatively they could go the route of having her memories corrupted by the the magnetic wave. Maybe the lack of power could be said to have damaged the files or the prolonged exposure to the  elements did something similar, but that she was salvaged before all was lost.

The explanation might not be 100% accurate, but there might be ways. The Aura is the part that would be the hardest to replace from a cold, analytical perspective. While her memories help define her and her perspective, there could be a touching scene where Ruby reminds her of what the scientists, technicians, handlers, Ironwood, and her father didn't know.
