Angled or not, what really matters is that the dresser is positioned past the center line of the wheel. That way when you forget to turn on the chuck (and you will), the dresser will just tip over rather than be propelled across the shop.

So to the left of the wheel? I'm a visual person, I need to see it...
Assuming clockwise rotation on a surface grinder (I've never seen counter, but one never knows) (maybe in Austrailia or New Zeland
as you face the front of the wheel, yes.When dressing a cylindrical grinder or tool post grinder it should be below center just like the diamond dresser I use on my bench grinder. Tool & cutter grinders are a different beast. All depends on the shape/type of wheel and the set-up.
