The position of the row in the mosque: the right side or the left side

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The one who enters the mosque, Shaykh, does he take the right side or the left side, and which is better?

Answer:
It is obligatory to center the imam. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Align your imamوسطوا إمامكم
So he should not occupy the right side of the row and leave the left side empty or with few worshippers. The imam is centered in this. Yes.
