Every microwave has a specific 3d radiation wave harmonic pattern which determines the power distribution within the volume of your microwave enclosure. Most microwaves are strongest slightly to the left of center.

If you want to test, put a full plate of mashed potatoes or something in your microwave, without the turntable. After a couple mins take some temp readings at spots on the plate.

My left or the microwave's left?

The left which happens to be the opposite side of the perforations on the inside where the radiation comes out.

Don't most microwaves have a rotating plate?

Yes and it's optional you pull it straight up
