I'm not sure what you mean by "at a right angle," but here is the proper way to salute: "To salute, all persons come to attention. Those in uniform give the appropriate formal salute. Citizens not in uniform salute by placing their right hand over the heart and men with head cover should remove it and hold it to left shoulder, hand over the heart." This information came from http://www.usflag.org/flagetiquette.html While it is not stated how to place the hand over the heart, it is customary to place the palm of the hand toward the chest.

With the right hand over the heart is that a form of prayer?
No, it is not.It is a symbolic gesture used during the Pledge of Allegiance in the United States. It is the second gesture used, the original was dropped because it was too similar to the National Socialist German Workers' Party salute used by Adolf Hitler. This original salute was a modification of course from the Roman Empire, where the fist of the right hand was tapped upon the left breast (over the heart) and the arm was shot out stiff at an upward angle with the hand open and fingers pointing straight forward.The current gesture of placing one's hand over their heart, is actually a modification of the first half of the Roman salute and was most likely chosen as a symbolic gesture that one holds their country in their heart.

If you are an American, during the playing of the National Anthem, you should stand, face the flag, and place your right hand over your heart. Veterans and members of the military MAY render the hand salute instead if they wish. If you are not an American (or if an American, but present at the playing of some OTHER country's national anthem) you should stand, stay respectfully quiet, but do not place hand on heart.
