Description

Describe the bug

When you specify that the header should be aligned to the right then this is not working when you also have added the filter attribute to the column.

Research direction

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproducer and compare the DataTable header with and without the column filter. Trace the header alignment behavior in the relevant DataTable entry points; done means a filtered column remains right-aligned when that alignment is specified, while the existing unfiltered behavior stays intact.
