Simply use the MouseUp event to detect the mouse click. The DataGridView.HitTest() method can tell you what part of the DGV was clicked, allowing you to pick the CMS you want. For example:

    private void dataGridView1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
        if (e.Button != MouseButtons.Right) return;
        var dgv = (DataGridView)sender;
        ContextMenuStrip cms = null;
        var hit = dgv.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
        switch (hit.Type) {
            case DataGridViewHitTestType.ColumnHeader: cms = contextMenuStrip1; break;
            case DataGridViewHitTestType.Cell: cms = contextMenuStrip2; break;
        }
        if (cms != null) cms.Show(dgv, e.Location);
    }
