since you are still a beginner, it might be good for you to learn open-handed playing.

with open-handed playing, instead of hitting the hi-hat and ride with your right hand, you hit them with your left, and hit the snare with your right. the only beneficial thing about this is that you will have less trouble playing fills, as you wont have to uncross your hands to start a left-hand leading fill.
with this style, you would have your ride on the left side of the kit, but usually open-handed players have it on the left side of their hi-hat. you can put it wherever you want, though, regardless of whether you play open-handed or crossed. dont be afraid to set up your kit in odd ways. it will help you be more creative, especially once you become more experienced and have set into habits. rearranging your kit can help you stay out of ruts. i wouldnt recommend changing it up until you hit an improvement wall, though.

i play traditionally crossed and i have never wished to play open-handed, except that if i did i would have more power and speed in my left hand. think about what you want to do. look up some videos of open-handed playing on youtube, and search it up on this site. either choice you make is fine and position your ride wherever you want.
