Hello Your findings suggests stable nodules in right lung. Nodules may be due to many reasons like infection, autoimmune causes, malignancy etc. It is good that size has not increased. This is in favor of benign lesion. Your condition only need follow up scan. In future also if lesions(nodules)are stable then it shouldn't be a matter of concern. You need clinical correlation also.
