Actually, SM (or ST in this case) isn't something you can transplant and use it's power akin to the doujutsu. Both SM and ST are the result of using senjutsu-chakra by certain individuals, the eyes merely indicate this power in use, they aren't the source of it. That's why Boruto having Mitsuki's eye makes not much sence cause Boruto has to possess the ability of ST itself, which hardly is granted by having the single eye of it's natural user. The prime example is Jugo healing Sasuke after Bee's Lariat - he gave the latter the piece of his flesh for recovering goals, yet Sasuke didn't get his ST abilities afterwards. In turn, Boruto possessing Byakugan makes a lot of sence, the reasons a) Boruto's mother is a Hyuga, he could have the potential to awake Byakugan, as Himawari did, b) Boruto has at least two family members with it, i.e. Hinata and Himawari, who could give him this right eye as a gift, again, as a Hyuga descendant, he shouldn't have any problems to use it
