Hi I took my wheels off to get new tyres fitted, I kept the spacers in the correct order but then dropped them and now I'm not sure what order they go back in, I consulted the haynes manual and it says the big spacer goees on the rhs hower is thi s as you look at the bike or sittibg on the bike?
I put them in and the disc seems to run very close to the fork.
Thanks rory

Welcome
there's only two possibilities, assuming you get the wheel the right way round, it has an arrow to help. If it looks wrong it is wrong, try again.

It should only go in properly one way mate. Try one way and if it doesn't line up properly, try it the other way.

The right of the bike normally refers to as you are sitting on the bike.
You wouldn't say the right of the car and mean when you are standing in front of it looking back towards it...
