This will have to be coached out of him...

Well and a lot of it is he's not used to playing on the right side.
He's used to planting a certain way, his muscles are used to being used a certain way, so naturally he's going to be much stronger playing as a LT.
It's just like dribbling a basketball. If you're right handed, dribbling with your left hand won't be as fluid, it won't feel natural, and you're not going to be as good as a ball handler coming down the lane.
Same concept with blocking. You need to plant your feet/legs for stability and leverage and you're naturally going to lean on your stronger plant foot for better leverage. Right now Fisher isn't playing like that. You can tell when he's just getting blasted from the snap falling down on his ass. He's not balanced and he's playing with no leverage at all compared to his opponent.
If it were up to me. I'd say **** whatever Albert has to say and I'd move him to RT and place Fisher at LT just to see if there's any improvement in the Oline as a whole, or if Albert is able to handle going to the RT spot better than Fisher is able to. I know people on this board hate that idea...but this Oline isn't going to do much for this offense unless Fisher players better. Our interior Oline is already shaky as it is. Albert is really our only strong point on our Oline. They're not terrible....but they're still very young and need much improvement IMO.
