In the symbolism of the Bible, the right hand symbolises authority (hence why, when Jesus ascended into heaven, he sat down 'at the right hand of God'.)
It's the right hand because by accepting the mark there you symbolically yield allegiance to Antichrist. That said, I have no idea why the forehead is offered as an alternative. Must do some reading up...
