What side does the us flag go on the flag pole when putting the state flag up?

When displaying the U.S. flag alongside state flags on a flagpole, the U.S. flag should always be positioned at the top of the pole. If multiple flags are displayed on separate poles, the U.S. flag should be placed on the center pole if it is in the center, or to the right of the other flags if arranged in a line. This positioning reflects the U.S. flag's status as the national flag and shows proper respect.
