No, its on the "right" side.

Just glad Honda didn't do European style LHD/RHD conversions with linkages to original Booster/Master cylinder locations.
Wow I'm dumb. I just noticed that the old EG booster pushrod has been cut off a little bit by whoever installed the booster before. I'm guessing that it is actually too long compared to the stock setup. So apparently the pedal is actually been touching/pressing the brakes this whole time and that should explain the instant lockup too. Gotta get this sorted out tomorrow! Its 10pm and its just too dark outside grrr.
Oh and I did remove my brake light switch for lols just to see if the pedal would go as far as it could and theres still no free play, which is bad!

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN...
My front right tire no longer locks up first but instead, its my rear left tire now FFUUU I'm thinking of e-brake adjustment. I'm guessing its gonna be easier to do vs the front haha.
Either way I still gotta cut the pushrod later (not looking forward to that) and see if it would do anything to the lack of available pedal free play.
Well adjusting the drums did the trick. No more locks! I've cut the push rod about ~1cm too so there's about 2mm worth of free play going on, which is what it supposed to be (Y) aka no more dragging brakes (Y)
See how much longer the EK ones compared to the cut EG ones. It was cut by whoever that got the EG booster installed before.

Tiny brakes are tiny :'(
But hey it works perfectly. Soo much stopping power compared to stock so its still a win (Y)
Mission accomplished!

Great job man, glad you were able to work it out.
Great. My front brakes are dragging once again -.- I gotta take them apart again tomorrow and see whats up. The sliders has been cleaned up and re-greased before and basically working like new. I've cleaned up every single corrosion/rust as much as I can but then who knows
Maybe the pushrod is too long. Or the flexible lines are bad.
So many reasons why

Flexible lines are new-ish. Barely 4 years old. Doubt that they would go bad idk?
Pushrod is short. In fact I had it adjusted too short to the point I would have to press halfways till the brakes grab.
This is funny. I jacked the car and tried to spin the front tires with a moderate force and it would spin for about 2 turns before it would stop. I figured that is normal? I did not take apart the slider pins yet so idk.
The test is simple, drive untill they start dragging, then rise the wheel and open the bleeder, if the dragging stops, then you have some hydraullic issue, if continues is oyur caliper.
