There is often a lot of overlap between libertarians and the far right, including the racist faction of the right. A libertarian might say for example that a hospital, school, or restaurant should be allowed to operate as "whites only". I think the vast majority of people identifying as libertarians would fall farther on the right side of the spectrum than the left with economic/pro-corporate/small government views being the primary driver.
As for not having a left/right spectrum of political views at all, I think it's somewhat inevitable in a (de facto) two party system, but it's worthwhile to acknowledge that virtually nobody is going to fit comfortably on one side or the other. People have tried for ages to come up with more nuanced multi-axis representations of where people fall within political spectrum, but even then it often just works out to carving out specific flavors of left/right.
