i have a powertrax noslip, which is similar to the lock-right.
see if the link below helps any.
the noslip has rings with teeth, that have to align with the splined side gear, and they have to mesh perfectly for the pinion shaft to clear. i had to assemble mine on the workbench, and then mark some alignment dots on each side, then assemble inside the diff and realign the marks.
go to the very end for pics and instructions.

this part gave me trouble with alignment:
assembly: study the noslip parts and understand that there are 3 parts per side, a pinion shaft in the middle, and some springs. the outermost part is the same for both driver and passenger side. the other two are not. passenger side is slotted (for c clip) and drivers side is not. when you put the 3 pieces together, you will only see the innermost and outermost. the middle piece, called the spacer, is hidden from view. it the magical piece !! it has a wide tab called the paddle. the innermost and outermost pieces have one, and only one, wide slot for that paddle to fit into. when the paddle is seated properly in the wide slots, the teeth will mesh tight. if its not in the right place, the teeth only half mesh.
this is sort of in the instructions as step 11, but its not clear what it means -> verify gaps in coupler teeth. i think this might have been my problem the first time. take the outermost piece and study it. it has a splined center for the axle shaft, and then it has 2 rows of teeth around the outside. this looks like all one solid piece. IT IS NOT. the inner teeth are a seperate piece, that will rotate in relationship to the outer teeth. ANOTHER MAGICAL PIECE. so put this outer piece in the vise (don't scar it up), put the middle piece's paddle in the wide slot. lay the pinion shaft into the slot for the pinon shaft, and rotate the shaft. this will rotate the inner teeth relative to the outer teeth. align it so that every other outer slot perfectly matches an
inner slot.
this is a also very important - position all 3 pieces together properly, and write with a marker on the outside edge of the inner and outer pieces where the paddle is. I used PP for passenger paddle (slotted) and PD for drivers paddle. 180 degrees opposite the paddle, mark another straight line across them. in my pictures below i put some dots, but then i forgot whether the paddle was one dot or two. this is important because you have to assemble all these pieces inside the carrier, and you have to keep rotating it back and forth, and you have to keep up with where the paddle is, and you have to get it all meshed exactly right in order to get the pinon shaft in. so these marks allow you to do that.
