Ren, keep doing what you know is right, hun. Ask the LC about it, but it may just be a matter of waiting until the supply catches up a bit more.
Have you tried switching positions with her (football hold) on that side after she gets fussy? Sometimes that can trick a bub into trying a bit harder and your let down might have occurred despite the fussiness. (Worked for my DD who has a particular aversion to the LHS and has never spent much time on there compared to the RHS).
Ren, you are doing a great job hun. If it's easier to feed only from the R side when you're out, that's fine. Maybe when you do the left at home you can try feeding in the bath or lying down so that you are more relaxed. It's possible that because you are expecting her to fuss on that side that you are not quite relaxed and slowing the let down a bit. It is also really common for babies to prefer one side - both my boys did and from memory it was a different side for each of them! So you might find that you always feed more from the right. Now that she's getting plenty of milk it shouldn't matter too much. And you might also find that she starts liking that side again soon.
Keep up the great work hun, and don't worry, you are through the hardest part!
