I think the same thickness should be on the same side... Mine are. Not certain though.
My thinner ones are on the right. That would move your motor over a bit

Looks to me that 3 out of the 4 are the same width according to:

But diagram #46 here: http://www.maxbmwmotorcycles.com/fiche/MainDiagrams.asp?mospid=47915 uses the same diagram but seems to say something different

The maxbmw diagram has the part number info for items 5 and 25.
Looks to me 3 spacer are of the same size, the 4th one is slightly bigger (that is number 3 on the max bmw diagram) So am I correct in thinking that the wider spacer would fit s/stand side.

I should change this

I would say so. Microfiche pictures are usually (IIRC) presented as if you are looking from the front and to the nearside (left) of the vehicle.
So that would put the big spacer where the sidestand mounts.
Swapped mine over today... the thick one was on the NS (in France
).
That would explain why the sump plate was so near the exhaust

Some photos - better late than never
They are not great, but do show distance between side stand and collector box, plus one washer, (I think - but the Bike is not with me).
Maybe you have it sorted by now
