A "to" comma

He wanted to go inside the small arcade area to the right of him to take a look at the outdated arcade games that they still had.

There doesn't need to be a comma after "him," right? I find that it's smooth on its own, and a comma would just make it kinda clunky. I just thought I'd double-check with you guys first to see what you thought.

Thanks.

No comma after 'him' because it is a purpose clause.
Other examples: Turn the volume down (so as) not to wake the baby.
