The gerund “lowering” indicates a participle phrase, which modifies “Suzanne.” For example, the phrase “Even after roaring and clawing, the dragon was not heard” is correct, even though the second part of the sentence is past tense. I don’t think there’s a tense problem in that question. I’d say no error.
