A student assigned to phoenix east aviation LLC. In Daytona Beach was involved in a ground mishap between two aircraft during taxi back to the ramp (N2630B) and the other with no intent to fly and parked on the ramp (N420SP) also a Cessna 172 aircraft. The PIC stated she received her preflight briefing with her instructor whom was not on board since considered initial solo. She contacted ground clearance and was given an instruction to 25R, crossing runway 16. Further instruction via the controller then changed her back to 25R in which she did not understand but, the tower commanded her to turn left as she did however causing a runway incursion while now on taxi w, as the tower wasn?t referring to her movement. She then was instructed to taxi back to the parking ramp. She became increasingly confused with her taxi instructions and in lieu crossed the hold short line of N6 intersection. Finally directed her to clearance and hold short until ground operations could direct her further movement. As she was following the ground crew completed a left turn in an attempt to park the aircraft but instead applied too much left rudder and impacting the parked aircraft with her left wing causing negligible damage to the 172 occupied and substantial damage to the rudder and vertical tail of the park aircraft.
