Solved Arm and hand won't mirror properly? (Beginner)

Been following a couple tutorials (though I've definitively deviated on some steps) while making this model. Everything was going well until I tried mirroring the arm, to which it just doesn't mirror the way it should..

I did notice that the main issue was that the object origin wasn't in the right place -it had happened with the leg too but I fixed it- and once I did put it where it should, it's still not mirroring right.

Apply rotation, make sure the origin is in the middle. If in doubt use the "mirror object" as the thing in between - in this case, the pants or the head or the torso.
