Blue JayA right sentence isn't a natural phrase.
It's somewhat odd why it should be unnatural. Googling and also Ngram graph show a number of cases that construct has been used though.

It seems that it's the use of the adjective right that made the problem. And changing by the adjective correct makes it more natural.
I had the cases you mentioned in mind and that was why I didn't post the links of Google results and Ngram with my previous post.
