We show that the common envelope jets supernova (CEJSN) r-process scenario is compatible with very recent observationally determined properties of the stars in the ultra faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy Reticulum II that are strongly enhanced in r-process elements. These new results, like efficient mixing of the r-process elements in the Reticulum II galaxy, have some implications on the CEJSN r-process scenario for UFD galaxies. In particular, the energetic jets efficiently mix with the common envelope ejecta and then with the entire interstellar medium of Reticulum II. The compatibility that we find between the scenario and new observations suggests that the CEJSN r-process scenario supplies a non-negligible fraction of the r-process elements.
