How to test catalytic converters ?

My truck got major power problem. It had misfires and i've replaced new spark plugs, new coil plugs, new fuel injectors and still not running right.

Chances are the cats are bad ???

I checked the temp on my cats and its weird. Right hand side cat reading 560*+ at the top and 360* at rear.
And the left hand side cat reading 190* front and 120* rear...

What is going on ? Does that mean the right side of the engine not burning clean ? I just changed the two O2 sensors on that side.
