I just got a Bitzeenburger jig with a RH clamp,I want to use feather fletching.I'm assuming that I buy feathers marked RH is that correct?

yes you need to use right wing feathers with a right helical clamp.

the jig should adjust with two screws so when you put in the shaft and lay the jig with the feather in it onto the shaft, you will be able to move the shaft around until the base of the feather is seated against the shaft for the full length of the feather.
You might try utube to see some video of how to fletch arrows.
