They couldn't get a good view of the corner of your lung on the diagnostic imaging study.
"Minimal blunting of the left costophrenic sulcus" refers to a slight change in the normal sharp angle where the diaphragm meets the chest wall on the left side, which could be seen on a chest X-ray. This finding is often non-specific and can be caused by various conditions, such as lung inflammation or fluid accumulation. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
This isn't my area of expertise, but I can give you an idea of what it is. The costophrenic angle is the location where the diaphragm attaches to the lower 6 ribs at approximately a 30 degree angle. Effacement normally refers to thinning and can be a thinning to the point of absense. I can only guess that "slight effacement" either refers to a thinning of the attachement to the ribs or a thinning of the diaphragm itself. My guess is a thinning of the attachement. If anyone has the answer, I would be interested in clarification also.
Can a right angle be on the left? Yes a right angle can be on the left
because a right angle is right and a left angle is wrong
There are 90 degrees in a left angle as there are in a right angle but the term 'left angle' is rarely used
a left angle is the opposite from a right angle :)

Either right or left. 90 degrees is 1/4 of a complete circle. Here's a right angle: |_ and a left angle: _|
Because the phrase 'right angle' indicates 90 degrees whereas there is no such angle as a 'left angle'
