There has to be damage to the running light circuit that runs to the right hand side of your trailer since the left hand side is working fine currently. Inspect the wiring of this circuit starting at the trailer connector and look for obvious signs of damage like cut or exposed wire and fix as needed.
I attached a couple help articles on trailer wiring for you to check out as well.
