It looks like a UI sync bug where the settings menu says ‘Left’, but the editor doesn’t update.

You can force the layout to refresh via the Command Palette:

  1. go to View > Command Palette in the top menu.

  2. Type: View: Toggle Primary Side Bar Position (with the >)

  3. Hit Enter.

This command instantly snaps the sidebar back to the correct side.

The solution works as a temporary fix, but it still opens on the right by default, despite workbench.sideBar.location being set to “left” with no overrides.
