Ooops! Right side thrusters would counter a drag on the left side of the orbiter if it were the right hand outboard thrusters that fired..... These thrusters are positoned on each side of the orbiter to allow for thrust in three directions... Up, OUTBOARD and down... My bet is the outboard thrusters that fired to counter the left hand wing drag.....

... outboard thrusters that fired ... Thanks; that makes sense now.
