'How would I position my navigation menu bars on the right?

I am building my first website and I would like to place my navigation menu on the right but I can't seem to figure it out. In my opinion the navigation menu bars being on the left can be irritating to the user. Your help would be appreciated.

CSS

nav .fa-solid{
  display: none;
}
@media(max-width: 500px){
  .nav-links ul li{
    display: block;
  }
  .nav-links{
    position: absolute;
    background: #f44336;
    height: 100vh;
    width: 200px;
    top: 0;
    right: -200px;
    text-align: left;
    z-index: 2;
    transition: 1s;
  }
  nav .fa-solid{
    display: block;
    color: #fff;
    margin: 10px;
    font-size: 22px;
    cursor: pointer;
  }
}

HTML

  <body>
    <section class="header">
      <nav>
        <div class="nav-links" id="navLinks">
          <i class="fa-solid fa-xmark" onclick="hideMenu()"></i>
          <ul>
            <li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
            <li><a href="">MUSIC</a></li>
            <li><a href="">ART</a></li>
            <li><a href="">GAMES</a></li>
            <li><a href="">MERCH</a></li>
            <li><a href="">ABOUT</a></li>
          </ul>
        </div>
        <i class="fa-solid fa-bars" onclick="showMenu()"></i>
      </nav>

Try this out and display:flex to nav and remove position:absolute as it just forces the things to happen. You can use flex and I guess that's a better approach. You can change the style as per the size of the screen and placing it with flex will help you further in your design.

nav{
 display:flex;
  justify-content:flex-end;
}

nav .fa-solid{
  display: none;
 
}
@media(max-width: 500px){


  .nav-links ul li{
    display: block;
  }
  .nav-links{
    background: #f44336;
    height: 100vh;
    width: 200px;
    text-align: left;
    z-index: 2;
    transition: 1s;
  }
  nav .fa-solid{
    display: block;
    color: #fff;
    margin: 10px;
    font-size: 22px;
    cursor: pointer;
  }
} 
 <nav>
        <div class="nav-links" id="navLinks">
          <i class="fa-solid fa-xmark" onclick="hideMenu()"></i>
          <ul>
            <li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
            <li><a href="">MUSIC</a></li>
            <li><a href="">ART</a></li>
            <li><a href="">GAMES</a></li>
            <li><a href="">MERCH</a></li>
            <li><a href="">ABOUT</a></li>
          </ul>
        </div>
        <i class="fa-solid fa-bars" onclick="showMenu()"></i>
      </nav>
