Stop thinking left and right. That is a path to brain damage. Wheel(axle) travel when adjusting the chain is front to rear of the bike. Count the marks on the swing arm and make sure they are the same on both sides. Just turn the adjusters a wee bit, a quarter turn to begin with and check the slack in the chain. Quite often that will be enough unless there is a lot of slack in the chain.
