The piriformis can effect the sciatic nerve and cause pain all down the right leg there, perhaps the knee in this case. Tight thigh tissues (ITB, hip flexor) can cause the knee pain as well.
And if you have a tight piriformis and weak glute medius (perhaps from underuse while favoring the injured leg), then your QL (quadratus lumborum) on the right side may try to pick up the "slack" when that one side is overloaded. Hence, the lower back pain.
These are all just thoughts and suggestions to consider, not a true analysis.

I'm going to start more foam work, i never took to it. Maybe because my roller is junk.
All that tech jargon is over my head dude.
I was never really interested in anything besides practical programs/applications.
I do a number of stretches but i had to stop stretching my right hip flexor so much because it started to cause discomfort.
I've done 40-50 right Rotational squats since i posted the questions and it was starting to get easier with less discomfort that's for sure.
Thanks,
Brad
