Hi , I'm a beginner to all this so please bear with me. I would like
to disable right clicking on an enlarged image that appears in a popup
when a thumbnail is clicked. I have tried to amend this free add-in
but it haven't got it to work. Can anyone help? Much appreciated.

Why?
I can still steal it with ease and many (often disabled) users who use
that right-click menu to navigate will be much put out.

You can try digital watermarking, but those are removable with the right
software. Relatively few users have such software.
Your best bet is to put a copyright text on the lower right hand side of
the image in a spot that is hard to remove (without mucking up the
image) with an image editor.
Second best bet is to make it a table background with a spacer gif over
it so that users who try to save it get the spacer. Even better, make it
an anchor, too, so that any click on it tries to do something other than
drag and drop (for users who might try to drag and drop into an image
editor). Savvy users can still easily read your html and get the image
name and load it that way (from the cache or server), but relatively few
people will bother to do this.

If everything else fails, people who want your stuff can simply screen
capture it. Quality goes down, but with a decent computer, it doesn't go
down *that* much unless you're using high quality bitmaps or something.
