There should be a Enum (Left, Right, None) property of the Expander Column indicating whether the position of the expander column should be left right or none. This would be especially important during pinning activities meaning no matter how many columns are being pinned and repositioned in the pinned area of the grid, it would always remain on the left, right or none.
Such a property is already available. See item: http://feedback.telerik.com/Project/154/Feedback/Details/112614
