The only issues I can see with mounting the can on the other side would be if the can has non removable brackets that won't match up just right or your trying to use slipons with midpipes. Actually using the can won't be an issue either way, so if that is the case you could use it with some modifications.

Pictures of what the problem is would help greatly.

No, you won't do any damage. The can will have very little effect on your performance or engine, even if you removed the entire cap and baffles. It would just be rediculously loud.
