I don't know what's "right".
I just know what works for me.
I made the pocket because I have a viking drysuit and their pocket is expensive and a PIA to attach..
The picture was just a picture of the pocket, I'm not suited up, I'm wearing kacky jeans in the photo.
I wear my pocket on my right thigh, towards the front outside at aprox one or two oclock. There are 3 straps, one going up to my waste belt, and two around my thigh, at the top and bottom of the pocket. All have 1 inch quick release (fastex) connectors.
The cover flap has a 2 inch strip of velcro on it. The sides are gusseted or V shaped to allow expansion.
If you make a pocket, make sure you put some drain holes in the bottom. (A soldering iron does this nicely on cordura nylon)
