It's common to feel it mainly on the right, as there's more direct pressure on the fixed cup from that side.
Although I have no wrench, yet, and the right cup will not turn by hand, a visual inspection of the area shows that the right cup is not flush against the frame, so this may very well be the issue. Off I head to the bike shop, to expand my collection of tools.

Thank you, everyone, for the suggestions.
