It is permissible to place the minbar to the left of the qiblah, but it is recommended to place it to the right of the qiblah; because the minbar of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was positioned that way. This is the view held by Ibn Qudamah, Al-Nawawi, and Al-Buhuti, and it is mentioned in the Fiqh Encyclopedia.
