It is Sunnah to bury the deceased on their right side with the face turned toward the qibla. However, if the deceased is unknowingly buried in a direction other than the qibla, the grave is left as it is. This is because it is not permissible to open a grave without a legitimate excuse. (Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, 2/238)
