Angry 72 442 Starter on wrong side?

Hello, I have 1972 Olds cutlass 442 with a 455 and a 350 trans. I am looking for a flexplate cover but cannot find one with the starter on the left side of the engine, can anyone tell me what is wrong? Is my starter on the wrong side or am I searching for the wrong thing?

Keep shopping. The BOP cover has the starter on the driver side where you need it

What is wrong is that the world assumes that GM only built Chevys
