Here’s the question I have. If it gets proven that Tramp/Pence ticket have won because of Russia’s meddling into the US election, where Hillary Clinton would have been a rightful victor otherwise, would there be any chance and legal way for her to claim a presidency?

No, because even if say it is proven that the election was “hacked” (which I don’t think anyone credible claims), the EC still voted and Trump still took an oath, so whatever happened before that wouldn’t matter legally as far as the matter of who the president is is concerned.

Worse though, the claims about meddling are limited to influencing through various propaganda channels. There is no law that says that mere external propaganda influences render an otherwise sound democratic process nil and void.
