There are a few general rules about location for transom mounted transducers:
1) make sure it's not mounted behind a clamshell through-hull. The turbulence from the clamshell will keep the transducer from performing when on plane.
2) Keep it as far away from your engine's lower unit as practical so shock waves from prop blade rotation won't cause interference.
3) Mount it deep enough so it runs in clean water when on plane or it will only work at displacement speeds.
4) Avoid mounting it just outboard of a step or strake in the hull, or it won't run in clean water on plane.

Left side vs right side shouldn't matter.
