How come the locking lever is on the Right. All my other mounts have the lever on the left.

I believe it is because the levers on the left may get hung up on gear, clothing, etc...... So they switched it to the right side.

I have a related ? to this.  I assembled the t1 to the mount so that the lever was on the left side of the rifle.  I mounted it and adjusted the dot so that it was on top of the front sight post.  After the range this weekend and zeroing the t1 independtly,  I noticed that while my irons are zeroed, and my t1 on larue mount is zeroed, when I look through the iron sights the dot is on the right corner of the front sight post.  I don't really care that much, but was I SUPPOSED to keep the lever on the right?

I do not think it matters. Either you open it  by moving the lever backwards if it is on the Left t or forward if it is on the  the right.

You did right, most of the time they don't line up perfectly.

I thought the lever was intended to be on the right side as to not be of interference when grabbing for the charging handle to clear malfunctions.

Is this supposed "on the right" unique to the T1 mount?

All my other mounts have the levers on the left.  Seems like they'd get hung up as well if it's an issue...

"Official" LT input may be required to clarify why the lever is positioned on the right side.

It's not, the Aimpoint M4(s) mount is on the right as well.

if I assembled the gun myself from a gaggle of parts I'd just assume my fsb is a lil tweaked.  But this is a new LMT which still could be a lil to the left/right i guess.

This is small potatoes for me.  I use the aimpoint OR the irons not both together.  BUt if switching the mount around so that the lever is then over the ejection port would cause some unknown somthing or other to line up and put the dot center on the front post I'd do it.
