You should use rtl as attribute

dir='rtl'

Here is a plunker

Go to index.html , you'll find :

<body >
   <chips-overview-example dir="rtl">Loading Material Docs example...</chips-overview-example>
</body>

you should add attribute dir=rtl to <html> tag, Because angular material.js code using this document.dir to distinguish layout direction

Angular material uses the selector[dir=rtl] for some elements in its css, for example:

[dir=rtl] .mat-form-field {
   text-align: right;
}

Therefore consider adding dir=rtl attribute to your html tag:

<html dir="rtl">

if you wish to change All element's directions in website, Use the following style (called Universal selector) in your styles.css file.

* {
    direction: rtl;
  }
