And Stock... it would have been a Spacer!!!
Rules out the left side tho!!! Now yer ditching the Hubcap and using a FLT/FLHT speedo drive [right side and a bit Longer!!] I don Not think you can get where you are trying to go and keep the hubcap.... But...Maybe with some creativity!!!

So if I did try to attach one to the right side would I need a new wheel hub for the little drive tab to fit into?

As I recall, the Softail Springer uses a small milled notch right in the Hub!!
[Right side drive]
I suspect Judicious use of a Drill would accomplish the same... I will look at that a bit... But Not Tonite!! I'm havin a Cocktail... LOL
