I am trying to Change the front right drive shaft I have taken everything from in front of or anything holding it in. But it does not want to come out no matter how much I wiggle or try to force it out. Is there anything else holding it from the inside or that I am missing?

"Wiggling it" is never going to get that axle out. It is snapped in with a lock ring and requires extreme force to remove. Get a very large pry bar with a flat tip and insert the tip behind the axle housing and give it a hard snap against the trans housing and it should pop loose. Going back in make sure it is fully seated and locked in.
