Honestly I can't figure out how one side is tight and the other loose.
The right side may be fooling you. There's limited clearance between the axle and freehub nut, so even when loose, there's little wobble on the right side.
Forget the right, adjust from the left, as you would any other hub.
If you still can't get it, pay someone to do it for you.
