If your hitch head does not have a wing on the top on both sides where the little ball fits, you are going to have to get a new hitch head so you can get a friction bar on both sides. You'll also have to add the second ball mounted to the trailer frame on the opposite side. Then, you'll have to find a left sided sway bar, as everything will be turned opposite from the right side set up. By the time you purchase a new hitch head, install all the parts for the second sway bar, and re-install your hitch ball, you'll be much better off to just toss the entire system and purchase a new weight distribution system that is much simpler and does it all. Systems like the 4 point Equal-i-zer and the Reese Dual Cam systems come to mind immediately.
Now, if your hitch head already has the second wing with the hole for the ball, then adding a second friction bar should be pretty simple, but you'll still need to mount the left side ball on the trailer A-frame.

You do not "need" a left handed sway bar.
You can just slide the bar out of the pad side, flip it over and reassemble The print on the side will be upside down... But it will work just fine.
very time I have purchased a sway control, it has come with the little ball for the A frame, and the bolts needed.
A very simple install.
Been there, done that, and bought the T shirt.
