on each side vs at each side

'On each side' and 'at each side' are both acceptable phrases, but they would be used in dissimilar contexts. 'On each side' is commonly used to refer to something being located on both sides of an object or area. 'At each side' is less common and is typically used to describe a specific location or position next to each side.
