How is used to ask about the way or method to do something. When how follows another question phrase (like, in this case, Did they say), the rest of the sentence follows an affirmative structure (we could fix it) instead of the question word order. For example:
Did she explain how we can improve communication? - This is correct; what comes after how follows an affirmative structure. It would be incorrect to use Did she explain how can we improve communication? here.
Can you show me how I should submit the report? - What comes after how (I should submit the report) follows an affirmative structure (I should instead of should I).
