Let's say, for example the front right physically has less weight on the spring. That corner will be in a 'lighter' spring range but still having to manage the unsprung weight. meh. too involved a topic.

Exactly. One corner with less unsprung weight will move differently than the other corner, given the car is symmetric in sprung weight and the springs and shocks are the same. Every item is a variable in how the car will drive & react on the track. I don't have the experience to say how exactly that happens, but it's the line of questioning and thinking that needs to be done to dial in the car for race day.
Scales only read unsprung + sprung weight, which is only good for tuning some things, but scales alone cannot dial-in the car.
