That Malcolm and Simone Collins posed for those pictures shows a significant lack of self awareness. They look like they would be rejected as too over the top if you were satirizing secular progressives. They condemn both the actual Nazis of Germany and the imagined ones of their minds today, but then turn around and play god with their own offspring by choosing the embryo they did because others "had higher estimated risks of traits such as obesity, migraines and anxiety." If they bring some awareness to this issue and help offer financial support to struggling parents, good, but they are really creepy.
In what sense would they be considered right wing? Part of their agreement when having kids was that Simone could keep her career and that Malcolm would take over primary childcare after six months. They trash large families that have traditional gender roles. They are actively promoting and pursuing having babies be genetically engineered and consider serving the alphabet soup community a top priority of their non profit. Doesn't sound real right wing to me.
Found this book they wrote that probably offers a glimpse into their worldview. Sounds like an assertion of the "noble lie" of traditional religion's social value, combined with a description of how to "neurohack" yourself into believing your own custom religion.
They're weird, very Silicon Valley, likely autistic. She worked for Thiel and might share a lot of his worldview. I'd say they're on the right insofar as they're too weird and heterodox to be on the left, which despises pronatalist white people to the very marrow of its bones. But they're far from traditionalists (and again, so is Thiel), even if they have more respect for tradition than the contemporary left does.
Yes, the only way the Collins are on the right is if you consider "on the right" to be anything that even slightly challenges or breaks with progressives. I think you would have to be at least on the autism spectrum to include, "if you have ever thought about inventing a religion or starting a cult, this book is for you" as a reason to buy your book. My take on them is they are progressives who wouldn't buy into every left wing fad and understand a low percentage of people having children is suicidal for civilization.

I don't know them from Adam but it's very likely they are actually right wingers.

Palladium is definitely a right wing site.
