If you played offensive line, then you know that moving from left to right, or vice versa isn't just set it and forget it.

It's definitely not set and forget. Some players can make a switch, some can't. When I was moved from LT as I got old and younger, better players, came in, the coach moved me to RT but I was just too slow to reach edge rushers to my right, so they kicked me down inside. I could play RG just not RT.
That said, Christian has played both sides in college and the NFL and he's done both pretty well. I don't think there's a real noticeable difference either way. I'd give the kid a shot there, personally. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work but man it's hard to watch Wylie suck every week. Wylie is built to be a guard.
