On the right side of that screen is what I’m working with. I can’t get the tabs to move independently without pulling the rest with. I understand it’s probably because their wrapped in the ul but can anyone suggest a way to fix this?

#top_links{
font-family: 'Swanky and Moo Moo', cursive;
margin-right: 50px;
text-align: right;
}
ul#navigation {
position: fixed;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
top: 30%;
right: 0px;
list-style: none;
z-index:9999;
}
ul#navigation li {
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
padding: 10px;
background: rgb(167,199,220); /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(167,199,220,1) 0%, rgba(133,178,211,1) 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(167,199,220,1)), color-stop(100%,rgba(133,178,211,1))); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */

I have found a working solution to this.
Add this to your li css:

float: right;
clear: both;

This sticks the individual li to the right side, and uses clear to start the next li on another line.
Tested on jsfiddle and your page and worked.
