I think the right stick click is the best place for zoom Bucket. I wanted to use every button. Generaly you don't look around much while zoomed anyway, Usually I look around, stop when I think I see something then zoom in to get a closer look then zoom out again. The ability to use LB to hold the direction of looking would make this very easy.
It is a bit odd that on a gamepad the left thumb takes the place of the right hand. It goes back to the very first pads. control on the left, fire on the right. Everyone who comes from a video games playing background is used to that whether left or right handed. Maybe it is different for people coming from only ever using a PC mouse and keyboard or Joystick. I know people who fly RC planes have problems too because RC controls have the alierons and elevator on the right and throttle on the left.
Anyway my control layout could have the sticks switched round if you wanted but you would probably want to switch all the functions of the face buttons onto the Dpad and the dpad ones onto the face buttons.
