Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.
The agreements for pronominal verbs can actually get pretty tricky. Generally they agree with their subject, but this is not always the case. And this is one of those cases.
Since there's a direct object, that takes precedence for agreement. However, it follows the verb, rather than preceding it, so the past participle remains unchanged.
Elle s'est brûlé la langue
Elle se l'est brûlée (and this one is extra tricky because of the ellision hiding the gender of l')
Lawless French has an article that goes into the other cases https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/agreement-with-pronominal-verbs/
technically, they always agree with an object (if they agree), it's just that since it's pronominal, the subject is the same as one of the objects which is also before the verb (in this case "se"), so if that object is the direct object, it will end up being the same agreement as with the subject
