Ummm, is it possible the "red on right" problem is that you have thicker red lines over there? Or is the red consistantly tight all over. I'd start wondering if the red crt was ok if the thickness of the lines varied quite largely, or if you had a dip in the convergence that was hard or impossible to adjust. When you adjusted the red convergence and wrote it, (you did it correctly-green dots prove that) did the convergence stay aligned and it went bad after turning it off?? I've had that occur....and I had to replace the digital convergence module and do a complete realign.
