destructor:
I say about these silver connectors which are pluged on right microswitch - two.
Remove them from microswitch and connect. If you have cover on silver connectors, use one small wire to connect these.

Yes.

No! If you switched the wires, and the culprit was the microswitch, "Right" would have started working and left would've quit. This shows that your problem is either in the wiring, encoder, or software. The switch is eliminated, as it works fine when connected to the other wires.

I tried the alternate method of programming the minipac using "Cntrl-Alt-P" and when trying to program the "right" direction it wont even allow me to do that, which would point to the microswitch in my eyes, but as I said ive swapped it around with a brand new one :-\

That pretty much elimates software as the issue- wiring and encoder are left.
The easiest way to find out which it is:
* Make a note of which pins on the MiniPac header (the pins the wiring harness plugs in to) correspond to "Ground" and "Right".
* Unplug the wiring harness.
* Get a piece of wire, a few inches is enough. Strip both ends.
* With the MiniPac plugged in to the computer, touch one end of the wire to the "Ground" pin, and the other end to the "Right" pin.
If the computer sees the keypress, it's the wiring. If it doesn't, it's the encoder.

If he move joystick to right, swap wires, move joystick to right again then it knows that something wrong is with microswitch.
But after swap wires he move joystick to left yes, it's no microswitch problem.
"pressing right" in Razor' words isn't clear.
