Nope, Illegal. It must me on either the left side and lighted or in the center and lighted.
(Not so sure about in the center anymore either. It used to be that way but, I would not risk it these days. )
Moving it the other side would look really bad and get you pulled over in a second.

Please provide your state's statute stating such.

I really don't know the statute but, I have never, ever, seen a plate on the right side. Left, yes. And Center yes. But, never right.

The local cops would give you a ticket for that. You could maybe fight it out in court and win, I don't know. I not going to try it and find out.

You haven't seen it so therefore you think it must be the law and you're sure some local cop will give someone a ticket for it? That's a real reach for many reasons.
1) It's not the law. Not even in MN. All states have things called statutes. That's the laws. All states even think to write down those things called statutes. And even more all states make those statutes open to the public so people can look them up and see what those statutes say. They don't have to rely on never seeing something and thinking it must be the law. Before spouting off that something is "illegal", look it up.
2) When any LEO cites a person for any violation of the law the statute that is violated is also cited. So instead of thinking you're cited for something you've never seen and think must be illegal the cite is clearly written so a person can look up the publicly posted statute and see exactly what they violated.
3) When you go to court on any citation the prosecutor has to prove the elements of the statute which were violated. Those elements are clearly spelled out on those aforementioned publicly available things called statutes.
The general statute for every state I've ever researched their statutes only indicate a license plate must be mounted on a vehicle either front, rear, or both depending on the state and the specific vehicle. It doesn't matter either left or right. Generally a state's statute will say visible and a rear plate lighted at night.
If you look a bit more and pay attention you'll see there are vehicles with plates mounted on the right, left, center, and places in between. You'll even notice some semi trailers with plates mounted near the top.
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean something is illegal. It only means you've never noticed it. That's not illegal and it's certainly not anything anyone can be cited for.
Anyone ever wonder how these campfire tales of what's illegal get started? Perfect example.
