WIY: The left side thing B’pashtus isn’t Halachah as that was a medical Eitzah (post-Gemara) and we generally ignore medical Eitzos from the Rishonim. I don’t see why this one would be different. (The reason given in the Poskim is something along the linesnot of having the liver move to the other side of the body so food can digest easier, something which our medical Eitzos nowadays obviously disagrees with.)
