Could long term sleeping on the right hand side of the body affect the working of the liver on the same side?

I have to sleep on my right side, left side and irreparable brain damage from seizures. I have spinal damage due to surgery for removal of benign tumour/schwannoma in 1997. I have diabetes 2 [since March 2020] but I believe various readings could be heightened, blood sugar etc, due to general pressure of body on liver when I sleep, a US scan commented on my "fatty tissues near my liver"? I have PC since June 2022, but low priority. I had a broken clavicle on my right shoulder from seizure, thus sleep with three cushions for extra support, could this indirectly be more pressure further down on my right side on liver? Have been through various 'diets' for diabetes 2 aftereffects of prostate cancer radiotherapy and hormone injections did not help although cholesterol considerably reduced blood sugar 88, lowest weight in ten years!🤔
