It took me a second, but I definitely see what you mean now. Literally the bottom right of each symbol, I.e. The bottom right corner is closed by your right thumb and the bottom right corner is open with your left thumb. Thanks for the tip!

I remember left and right by politics (warning: these are left-slanted :p )
Right has the symbol for mouth in it because the right is all talk, no action. Left has the symbol for work in it because it represents the worker.
I remember hidari as someone saying Hilary wth a thick Japanese accent. Hilary Clinton being a left-leaning politician.
I remember migi because it looks like MG which sounds like a machine gun to me, and the right loves guns where I live.
I never have trouble with these directions now :)
