I believe you want to put this on the XlAxisGroup.xlSecondary axis not the XlAxisGroup.xlPrimary .

You also need to use XlAxisType.xlValue for the Y axis

Axis axis;
    axis = (Axis)chartPage.Axes(XlAxisType.xlValue, XlAxisGroup.xlSecondary);
    axis.HasTitle = true;
    axis.AxisTitle.Text = "Right Side text";
    axis.HasMajorGridlines = false;
    axis.HasMinorGridlines = false;
