I found that.

   Even if your keyboard lacks these additional modifier keys, you can
enter it using ‘C-x @’: ‘C-x @ h’ adds the Hyper flag to the next
character, ‘C-x @ s’ adds the Super flag, and ‘C-x @ a’ adds the Alt
flag.  For instance, ‘C-x @ h C-a’ is a way to enter ‘Hyper-Control-a’.
(Unfortunately, there is no way to add two modifiers by using ‘C-x @’
twice for the same character, because the first one goes to work on the
‘C-x’.)

But I have 2 Alt keys where the right one I never use.

How can I make the right tab distinguished new modifier key?
