I need to wear my Fitbit on my right hand instead of my left. Is there a place in my settings that I need to change when I do this?

 

Moderator edit: clarified subject.

Phone app Today screen >  battery icon at top left > your device > scroll down to Wrist Placement (dominant or non).

What that affects is step count. There is a filter to prevent some fake steps being counted by dominant hand, such as brushing teeth or hair.  I have no idea how much difference it actually makes.  I sometimes switch wrists for a few hours and don't bother changing settings, but would if it were permanent.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
