Yes that can be done, also u should take to a doctor to examine already existing lump in left thigh. That took too long to heal.

Left and right are just norms , switching sides doesn’t affect the vaccination efficacy
If the lump is persistent, consider visiting the Pediatrician in order to get it properly checked
