Moving him to the right side would pit him against more bull rushers and IMO, that's more the type of defenders he's built to match up with.

Not at all.  

Think about it, Cam has taken thousands of thousands of reps as LT throughout his career. He's essentially only played on the left side.   

Now consider the technique and balance issues he has on the left as a pass protector. Moving him makes those way way worse and he'll still be facing elite pass rushers there.. 

Listen to any lineman talk about moving sides from left to right. Even left guards going to right guards can struggle for the simple reason that it's opposite movement patterns they haven't refined. Some good tackles can do it, but generally they have played there before and have very good technique and balance.

Overmatched LT's move to the right side all the time. It's much harder to go from right to left, which is why you hardly ever see it, but LT's move to the right side all the time. In fact, current starting NFL RT's Andre Smith, La'el Collins, Jared Veldheer, Bryan Bulaga, Mitchell Schwartz, Rashod Hill, Ryan Ramczyk, Brandon Parker, Lane Johnson and Mike McGlinchey were all LT's in college.
