The drain plug nut is on the underside of the car, pointing up. It's upside down. Looking at the nut, as if you were on your back under the car looking up at it, it tightens turning clockwise and loosens counterclockwise. If you're talking about pushing toward the right side of the nut facing it from the front of the car, you're talking about toward the left side of the car, and you're tightening it. Look at the nut and work out the clockwise/counterclockwise thing before you tear something up.
