On the Starboard side ... aka, right side.
The green sidelight on a boat is located on the starboard (right) side of the vessel when facing forward. It is typically mounted at the bow and is visible from the front and side of the boat. This light is part of the navigation lighting system and helps indicate the boat's direction to other vessels at night or in low visibility conditions.
Green light is starboard (right side when facing towards the bow).Red light is port (left side).
The starboard sidelight is green. It is one of the navigation lights on a vessel, indicating the right side when facing forward. The corresponding port sidelight is red. Together, these lights help to communicate a boat's direction and orientation to other vessels at night or in low visibility.
When operating a power boat at night, your red sidelight must be visible to boats approaching from your port side (left side). This is part of the navigation rules that dictate that vessels must display specific lights to indicate their direction and position to other boats. The red light, along with the green sidelight on the starboard (right) side, helps prevent collisions by signaling the boat's heading.
The green light would be located on the right, or starboard, side of the boat.

Well, it's the light, on the side of the boat. Think it over, it's not that hard
A green sidelight must be visible to boats approaching from the right (starboard) side. This is part of the navigation rules that help mariners determine the direction of another vessel's movement. The green light indicates that the vessel is facing the observer's left side, meaning it is navigating towards them.
Begin by removing the sidelight wiring harness. Remove the sidelight assembly retaining bolts. The sidelight will come off. Reverse the process to install your new sidelight.
With your vessel's bow pointed at zero or 360 on your compass, the green light should be directed at 135 degrees.
