I don't think that Hinata is the heiress to the clan even after she became stronger than Hanabi because she was only removed from position in the first place because she was not confident, not headstrong and wasn't as capable a fighter as Hanabi. Hanabi currently is strong and confident, which fulfills the criteria needed to be heiress of the clan so there's no need for Hanabi to be removed from position, I think.
