Narrative:
While landing on [runway] xxl at ZZZ; a shimmy was felt on the right front landing gear right at touchdown. I conducted a go around and then attempted a second landing keeping the nose of the aircraft off the ground as long as possible. When clearing the runway the airplane seemed to be leaning to the right. I contacted the tower and they informed me that the right front landing gear had collapsed. I positioned the airplane on taxiway and shut down the airplane. On inspection; the right front landing gear had collapsed. No other damages were observed.
