You are not writing the right code.  \right-align takes a list of
markups and pads them on the left until they have the same width.

After doing that, you pack the aligned markups into a single line (the
default when packing a markup list into \markup).  Do it the other way
round:

\relative c'' {
    a a a a |
    a_\markup
        \right-align \line
        {
            sempre
            \dynamic f
        }
    a a a 
}
