Terri, I hold my phone with the home button to the right when using Braille Input and do not have a problem. If things do not work right for you, you can try recalibrating it by placing your 3 fingers from your right hand on the screen then the fingers from your left hand. But normally you very seldom have to do this.
The best thing to do is to start the notes app, and just practice. The more you use it, the more comfortable you will get. Hope this helps.
