Can I say "The cat is at the right side of the teacher?" I got marked wrong though, but maybe it should be accepted.

On, to, or at the right of the teacher. The choice is irrelevant. None are incorrect.

"The cat is to the right of the teacher" seems correct in my dialect. ".. to the right side of the teacher.." is a bit too wordy.
i think this translates literally as "Cat location teacher's right side" so any english combination that has the Cat on the teachers right side should work. so if your answer isn't there report it and help improve.

This is my beef with Duolingo. We are here to learn Chinese, not to play guessing games as to which English Duolingo will accept.

I studied Chinese at Yale in 1959. We were drilled in the concept of context. Once the conversation was begun time words, articles, etc. became irrelavant and redundant. Here it is best to translate as is with no regard for prevous comments,
