I am using Doom Emacs, and I frequently use the vterm popup/toggle functionality (defined as +vterm/toggle here, which is used, as the name suggests, to toggle a vterm buffer.
The default behavior is to toggle from the bottom of the screen, but I'd like it to toggle from the right side of my screen if possible.

You need to use a popup rule. The default is defined here:
(set-popup-rule! "^vterm" :size 0.25 :vslot -4 :select t :quit nil :ttl 0)
Just add side: right and have the regex match the buffer you want, in this case *doom:vterm-popup:main and put this in your config.el inside an after! vterm block.
So, the final result for my case was:
; config.el
(after! vterm
(set-popup-rule! "*doom:vterm-popup:main" :size 0.25 :vslot -4 :select t :quit nil :ttl 0 :side 'right)
)
For more info on popup-rules, see the doom docs.
Just few notes to @jacob-pavlock answer.
If you receiving error, Invalid side 'right specified, you need to remove the ' character.
; config.el
(after! vterm
(set-popup-rule! "*doom:vterm-popup:main" :size 0.25 :vslot -4 :select t :quit nil :ttl 0 :side right)
)
The accepted answer only adds that behavior to projects named main (or when no project is selected).
Use :* to have that for all projects
; config.el
(after! vterm
(set-popup-rule! "*doom:vterm-popup:*" :size 0.25 :vslot -4 :select t :quit nil :ttl 0 :side 'right)
)
