Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward stacking of intensifiers ('damn' and 'right') with the adjective 'proud', so the sense 'extremely proud' is directly derivable from the constituent meanings. This adverb+adverb+adjective composition follows regular English intensification patterns and is cross-linguistically familiar, so a B1 learner who knows the component words will readily understand it despite its colloquial register.
Etymology
The phrase damn right proud comes from adding the strong word damn and right, which means 'completely', to 'proud', like someone stamping their foot and saying 'damn right!' after a big success. So, damn right proud means 'extremely proud'.
