Hello Maggie. I've never seen a damper pedal shift the keyboard to the right...but hey, anything is possible! If you take out the right cheek-block, you'll find a screw in the cheek-block that the edge of the keyframe butts up against. This screw can be turned counter-clockwise (to restrict the distance the keyboard shifts to the right) or clockwise (to allow the keyboard to go further to the right). I set the screw so that the hammers only hit 2 strings of a tricord, trying to get them as close as possible to the left-hand string of the next tricord to the right. I see others have answered your question while I was putting this together, but I'll send it anyway.
