I am trying to check when a different player touches the LocalPlayer's right arm, but I need to do this in a normal script to actually deal damage. Any suggestions?

You can't get the localplayer, there is none, however you could use a character added evnt and use the character object for that instead

Oh, ok.
You can have a localscript that connects the right arm's touched event to a function that fires a remote event that your "normal script" will receive.
Local Script
local RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RemoteEvent
local localPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = localPlayer.Character or localPlayer.Character:Wait()
local function onTouched()
RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end
Character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm").Touched:Connect(onTouched)
Server Script
local RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RemoteEvent
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
print("Right Arm touched")
end

Generally, when possible you should't let localscripts handle things such as taking damaging, kicking players etc.

playeradded, remote events, child added for workspace (check in players), etc
