iPadOS 27 notifications gesture unusable for right-handed users

Moving the iPadOS 27 notifications gesture to the far left of the screen makes it completely unusable to someone right-handed on a 13” iPad in portrait mode without swapping hands. PLEASE let us move that back to the center.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 27
