You don't need justified text for this - what you need is right-aligned tab-stops, preferably with your paragraph's right indent set to the left of your right-aligned tab-stop. That way, TOC entries that span more than one line won't intrude into the page-number space.

I indented everything to the right side and tried using the left tabs and right tabs but it didn't do anything.

The tab stops will allow you to move your page numbers over by pressing 'Tab'. They don't affect indents. If you want your page numbers aligned on the left, use left stops, on the right, use right stops...then tab them over.

I want the page numbers to be aligned on the right side and I am using the right stops (inverted L signs that I have place on the ruler part). When I move the right stops using the cursor, nothing happens to the text on the page and the page number do not become aligned.

In my ToC, I have 3 levels of headings so I using indents on those and I have typed in ........................ between the headings and the page numbers.
