I love Ryan and she definitely came into her own with great acting, but initially she wasn’t as great an actor. BUUUT that totally worked because she was Borg so her wooden acting was perfect for the role! And as she improved as an actress that came off as 7of9 becoming more human.

IIRC there was a late season episode where different parts of Voyager were stuck in different time periods and 7of9 was supposed to be her original Borg self and Ryan had such a massive problem with it because she’d essentially forgotten how to be a bad actor.
