The chain adjusters don't have to be different for left and right side. Some have equal, some have opposite adjusters on their Tomos. For what they are intended to do there's no difference.
Only thing what is important is that your chain don't curve because of bad alignment due to play in the pivot point in your rear swingarm or bad alignment of the sprockets because the rear wheel looks to be aligned in the swingarm, but the frame is twisted or bend (because of accident and/or fatigue e.g.). The chain must be straight when looking over the top of the chain from the rear sprocket to the front.
Does the play of the chain tighten and loosen when you turn the rearwheel when your Tomos is on the stand? When this is present 1 or both sprokets may be not correctly centered (most common when using cheap imitation parts) when manufactured.
Adjust the play of your chain to 20mm when on a stand when none of the above apply. A little more or less play is no problem, the chain will stretch in time and you need to re-ajust the play to the correct mm. When sprockets and chain needs to been replaced, always do this all together because the parts do wear on each other. When using an old chain and new sprockets and vice versa, the wear will increase to the new part and decreases lifetime.
