"in the right" is OK, but maybe "correct" would be better for learners of English.

'correct' would be right as in right answer in a test.

'in the right' would be right as in holding the right view / being on the right side of an argument (particularly a moral argument).

I think the Japanese could mean either, but I lean towards the second based on a gut feeling about the usage of どちら.

I agree. I'll change it to "correct".
