"se han observado daños en el brancal derecho"
It's a part of the car. It appear in a police report about a traffic accident.
I've found this:
"brancal significa conjunto de las dos viguetas largas o gualderas del bastidor de un carruaje o cureña de artillería, que descansan por intermedio de cojinetes sobre los extremos de los ejes de rotación de las ruedas."
But I still have no idea what this is in English or Spanish...
Thanks in advance

center door pillar
brancal is Catalan for SP jamba, which in EN is door jamb.
The center door pillar is the part between the front and rear doors.

According to Robb - brancal is the frame of a wagon (axle shaft in PR)
I think frame is unlikely as a police report of a traffic accident is mostly external, observable damage. Frame damage is generally observed in a body shop. More details of the report could shed light on this.

Note from asker:
| I managed to work out that it was the door jamb thanks to your comments. It wasn't the centre door pillar but the front one. Thanks for your help! |

Rocker panel
I'm not entire sure if this is the correct definition, but I found the following information:
A rocker panel is a stamped steel piece that is an integral part of your car's body structure. Rocker panels are located along the sides of the vehicle between front and rear wheel well openings, just below the doors. In fact, you lift your feet over them every time you enter and exit. Aside from roof supports, they are the only part of the frame connecting the front and rear of your vehicle. more details on - https://www.carid.com/articles/rocker-panels.html
From your definition in spanish, this looks similar... hope it helps!

entirely... sorry.
Considering that the text mentions the "right side" maybe this is the correct definition, as it mentions that there is one on each side.

Note from asker:
| Thank you for your answer, but I went with door jamb as the damage is to the wing mirror and the door jamb, the rocker panel is too far from the mirror and not all cars have it. This one is a Renault, which does not have that feature. Thanks a lot! |
