Vim <C-Right> and <C-Left> remaping

When i press <C-Right> in insert mode, vim does the same thing that it would being in normal mode and pressing w. But i would like to remap C-Right and C-Left so the effect would be more like the e key (specially at the end of a line, when i'm just before the last word i don't want vim to skip the line and go to the next line word, i want it to put the cursor just at the end of the line.)

I tried for the insert mode :inoremap <C-Right> <Esc> e a but it keeps jumping the line, besides <Esc> e a doing exactly what i want.

In normal mode, :nnoremap <C-Right> E does what i want.

What i am missing to make the remap work?

Thank you for your time reading the question.

Don't put spaces inbetween the commands (or after them). All the spaces count as part of the command (which is move the cursor to the right)

:inoremap <C-Right> <Esc> e a

should be 

:inoremap <C-Right> <Esc>ea
