Excuse me, I have a question
about the line of sight and the arc of fire at the moment of making an attack.

To fire with a ship at an enemy hull zone, you have to check 3 things.
1. Range (I do not have any questions about this now)
2. Firing Arc
3. Line of Sight

FIRING ARC:
The rules are clear about this. I can only fire at stuff inside my arc (p.8) You simply check if ANY part of the targeted hull zone is at least partially within your arc. In the pictures, your arc is shown as the space between 2 of your arc lines, spreading out infinitely.

LINE OF SIGHT:
Let's ignore obstacles, squadrons or other ships.
To see if you have Line of Sight to an enemy hull zone, you draw an imaginary line from your yellow dot to the target zone yellow dot (p.19)
To have Line of Sight, this line must not cross another hull zone of the DEFENDER. Yes, that means it may actually cross one of the other hull zones of the ATTACKING ship and you still have line of sight.

Based on the photo, the Gladiator can obviously shoot from its front arc to the front and side of the ISD. My question is whether the Gladiator can shoot from his right arc to the front of the ISD. Because the rules says that the own arc not obstruct the line of vision

It can't make that attack because the fron arc of the ISD isn't inside the side arcs of the Gladiator

If the ISD's front arc were within the side arc of the GSD, you could. In this case, because the arc line for your GSD's side arc falls outside the ISD's front arc, you don't have the shot.

An example of your own arc not obstructing LoS, I think, is this:

The MC30 has shots into the ISD's front arc from both of the MC30's side arcs (as well as from its front arc). Both of the MC30's side arcs encompass a piece of the ISD's front arc, and LoS from the MC30's side arc yellow dots does not cross the defender's hull zone lines.

that is what we like to call the MC30s "Happy Place".

Thank you all for your answers, have been of great help

The diagram in there covers most questions, O think this one too. I printed it.

This one, in particular: it was an Ackbar list with OE, ACM, and (pre-nerf) TRC on the MC30T, and in range of Home One.

Yes, not least of which is because of the truly fantastic play matt you can see there

I have been 100% on the yoga mat bandwagon since I bought into this game, lol. It is the superior play surface by a wide margin.

Couldn't agree more. And thanks, by the way. You were the one who put me onto them in the first place. Haven't looked back since.
