You will need to re position the layered nav via xml by unsetting the block and inserting into the right structural block
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<catalogsearch_result_index>
<reference name="left">
<action method="unsetChild"><alias>catalog.leftnav</alias></action>
</reference>
<reference name="right">
<action method="insert"><blockName>catalog.leftnav</blockName></action>
</reference>
</catalogsearch_result_index>
</layout>
