Do you have partitions? These can be feeders that can be accessed from several sides, wooden boards that are high enough that goats can't see over.
Do you have things to climb/jump on? Higher resting places?
Where are your feeders located, how far apart are they? Same with water? BTW why would she chase other goats from water? Do they have water 24/7? Hay 24/7?
If you feed concentrates, tie all goats prior to preparing the food and then give the feed in individual buckets/pans. Keep all tied until each goat is finished. Tie her first and untie her last.
Do you have a goat savvy vet? Ask him to check her (might need blood draw) for overy cysts and/or other hormone imbalances - they can cause overly aggressive behaviour.
Do you have a buck or at least a castrated male? Sometimes adding a "male presence" settles the females down.

So we dont have any male at all , they have water and food 24/7 , there is two feeders that can be asy accesed for everyone . I feed grain only in milking stand when they are seperated . We just moved them into big goat house like 4 days ago . nothing high they couldnt see over . She seems to be most agressive when its about food or when we are in there and other goats try to get close to us . She doesnt want them to get pet and wants all attention to herself . We have her almost 2 months now and fights most of course the mini lamancha that was herd queen before she came in . We have currently 4 goats all together but they are off and on now because of breeding season ladies leave for 4 weeks to get bred and the swap and the other come back . We decided to give her couple more months and see if she settles once the whole herd is back together and they can all settle back in their new house .
