Looks good! Legionnaires wore the gladius on the right because, when troops were standing shoulder-to-shoulder in a tight formation, it could be drawn without interfering with soldiers on either side, or being obstructed by the shield. Centurions were officers, so formations and shields weren't much of an issue. Plus, they got to wear the fancy uniforms with the sword hanging from a baldric.
