The fact that the triangles are right and the two hypotenuses are congruent is insufficient to prove the triangles congruent.
Consider a 3-4-5 right triangle which is a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5, but a 
-
-5 triangle is also a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 5 but that is not congruent to the first triangle.
