As you had stated the boat turns easy to the right, so to equalize the "torque" created by the prop, moving the torque tab to the left will help to offset that tendency. It basically helps direct the water off the back end of the fin more to the left so that turning one direction or the other is fairly close to being equal.
When you adjust the tab, it is definitely a trial and error situation, but it shouldn't take too much to get things to equalize. Not too hard to do on the water so long as you have a dock or platform to use to make your adjustments.
Not sure if moving the tab will help take care of the boat lean...that may be more to the load in the boat, although if the motor was not mounted properly (tilted to one side or the other) that could have an effect too. To offset this, you may find a gear move is all it takes. Sometimes it takes moving a battery, etc as well.
good luck with things...nice little project
