There are many different techniques for xwind, there's not a lot of ground clearance with transport aircraft, holding a wing down like on a Cessna can get you into trouble. but you generally try to align the aircraft with the runway just before touchdown, with the wind from the right, the nose of the aircraft is pointed to the right, a few feet above the runway, you gently align the aircraft with the runway so there isn't any side load on the gear.
