one question.... you said at the beginning that the "right side / conductor" was black... but what is the right side? as you look at the plug with the pins facing you OR as you look at the receptacle with it plugged in... it makes quite a bit of different as you are either referring to the hot or neutral wire... IF its the hot, then possible you have high current at the time of plugging or unplugging. IF its the neutral, then you might be having a grounding issue somewhere that is drawing current (some) but not enough to cause the breaker to set.
It's the right pin as if I'm holding it towards me facing it.
