Excel keyboard usage

While on Excel is it more efficient to use the Ctrl, Alt, & Shift keys on the left hand side or right hand side? Both? During which tasks do you gravitate towards a certain side for? For example, when using Alt + (number) shortcuts from QAT do you tend to use the right side Ctrl, Alt, & Shift keys with your left hand and have your right hand hit the num pad or the regular hand positions where left hand hits Alt as well as the top row number keys? Thanks!

How come? Just wanted to know the proper way since I’m clueless about excel and saw for the first time some guy use right side keys.
