Narrative:
My co-pilot and I were flying aircraft X as instructed by management. We were advised the aircraft had been returned to service and was safe to fly. We had no passengers; as this was a reposition flight only. We planned to land with 1100 pounds of fuel. During the flight home we encountered a few squawks; which we noted. We were cleared for the visual approach around xa:00 local time. Upon selecting the landing gear down; the co pilot and I waited for the common '3 green; no red' indications. We only received a left main; and nose gear indication; and the red lights in the gear handle were still illuminated. We advised the tower to cancel our landing clearance so we could run the appropriate checklist. We attempted 2 more normal extensions. Same results. Hydraulic pressure was normal. We attempted an alternate extension. Same results. We flew over the control tower and requested a visual confirmation and status of the position of our landing gear and main inboard gear doors. We were advised that our gear 'appeared' to be down; but our inboard doors were still open. We attempted to close the doors two more times with nitrogen pressure. Unsure of their position; we flew over the control tower again. The controller advised the gear still looked down; and the doors appeared closed now. We advised we were ready attempt a landing; and was immediately cleared to land. Almost no wind. We rolled the wheels on the runway very smoothly during touchdown. We both agreed as a crew not to use any brakes unless required. No thrust reversers on nextant. We turned off the runway's end and cleared the hold short lines; and shut the aircraft down. We advise ATC we were safe and the aircraft was disabled; but clear of all runways. We still had 650-700 pounds of fuel remaining. I exited the aircraft and went out to look at the right gear; and saw the gear indeed was not locked. We were fortunate it didn't collapse during rollout. The indicators weren't lying.

Title: Beechjet400 Captain reported they had unsafe gear indications and landed after the Tower told them their gear appeared to be down but the right main gear was not locked.
