Luckily there’s a simple option to change the sidebar position to the right, so it’s much harder to accidentally change categories when moving your cursor towards an icon of your favorites. Just right click on the menu icon, then configure application launcher. There you can see the option to move the sidebar to the right. It should now look like this
