      [data-sticky-first-right-td] {
        box-shadow: -2px 0px 3px #ccc;

  // Workaround as react-table footerGroups doesn't provide the same internal data than headerGroups
  const footerGroups = headerGroups.slice().reverse();

                  {column.render('Footer')}
                </div>
              ))}
            </div>
          ))}
        </div>
      </div>
    </Styles>
  );

Tips: if your table contain at least one header group, place yours sticky columns into a group too (even with an empty Header name)

const columns = [
  {
    Header: ' ',
    sticky: 'left',
    columns: [
      {
        Header: 'First Name',
        accessor: 'firstName',
      },
      {
        Header: 'Last Name',
        accessor: 'lastName',
      },
    ]
  },
  {
    Header: 'Other group',
    columns: [
      ...
    ]
  }
]
