Problem getting filter to work with fixedColumns.rightColumns
Problem getting filter to work with fixedColumns.rightColumns

I've got a datatables instance I'm trying to build at the jsfiddle below. I'm running into a problem when I try to lock down the two rightmost columns which also have select menus set up for filtering. The filtering just stops working on those columns when I choose to fix the right columns.
Filtering using my right column select menus using the code below doesn't work,,,
fixedColumns: {
leftColumns: 0,
rightColumns: 6
}

Filtering using my right column select menus using code below works, but the fixed column is on the left and not the right.
fixedColumns: {
leftColumns: 2,
rightColumns: 0
}

Any ideas what might be happening or what I can do to solve this? Thanks in advance!
