You'll be fine. Your return will then be on the passenger side right? Why the switch?

how the hell can you have feed and return on the same side of the fuel rail? they need to be on opposite sides so the fuel that isn't used by the injectors can be returned to the tank!

You could mount the pr valve right after the pump under the car if you wanted.
Flow through the inlets up to the rail, return back to the tank.

It's a closed, pressurized circuit. You can put the relief point anywhere.

The only disadvantage to plumbing it like that is: any air bubbles in the system will be forced out through an injector instead of looping around and returning back to the tank.

Since pictures speak 1000 words:

Just a FYI: the lower schematic I drew is exactly how many OEM's plumb cars now, except the pump and pr valve would actually be inside the tank.
