Guido is absolutely right, it doesn't have anything to do with smarts its a pure physical learning that needs to take place and that takes a different amount of time for everybody. The assignments for a position is just mirrored, thats the easiest part.
I have done the transition myself from RT to LT in the club team, then to RG with the national team, C (a wholly different thing) and then LG, it takes time to get used to, and most of all reps.
