- "Der Mann ist rechts."

It seems like a mistake to me that both "to the right" and "at the right" are not considered correct. Previously "the man is right" was accepted as well, which I think is probably actually incorrect because in English one would never say that to indicate direction. However, "to" and "at" can mean the same thing in this context.
I think you are mistaking the implication of the sentence. We are not talking about Recht, as in being correct. We are talking about rechts, as in the direction. “Der Mann hat Recht” means that someone is correct. We are talking about someone being on the right (as opposed to the left). So, how do you say that, then, if not “Der Mann ist rechst”?
That doesn’t quite mean the same thing, though, since one is a sentence and one is a clause. How would you say it as a complete sentence (“The man is to the right”)? Would you say “Der Mann ist auf der rechten Seite” or would you say “Der Mann ist rechts”? I am assuming you say “Der Mann ist auf der rechten Seite”, based on what you say, but I just want to be sure. Thanks!

Der Mann ist rechts. Heißt.
Der Mann ist an der rechten Seite.
Oder.
Der Mann ist politisch rechts.
Und somit ein Nazi.
