When looking at a series of flags in the USA the flag of the United States of America should always be on the left. Another way to look at it, if you were the flag this would be the flag's right. On a stage the US flag should be on the left of the stage from the audience view, to the right hand of the speaker. Again, the flag is positioned on the flag's right.
If there is a row of flags the US flag should be in the center on the tallest flag pole.
