Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah al-Uzma Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him):
If you doubt whether you have washed a part of the right side, you must address that doubt even if you have started washing the left side. You should wash the area in question after completing the left side or before completing it, as there is no requirement for a specific order between the right and left sides.

Ayatollah al-Uzma Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
If you doubt during ghusl whether you have washed a part of your body, and if your doubt occurs before entering the next part, you must wash that area. However, if the doubt occurs after entering the next part, you do not need to worry about it, unless your doubt is about a part of the right side while washing the left side. In that case, it is recommended to wash the doubtful part of the right side and then wash the left side.
