Audio: separate Left and Right, and Align

Hi,
We have a number of audio files from 2 microphones; one in the left and one in the right. Ultimately, I would like an elegant workflow that aligns 2 tracks and puts one on the left and the other on the right.
I can do it manually but it is laborious. Here are my steps:
On Edit Page, put one audio file on track 1 and the other on track 2.
Then, I align them via waveform.
Then, I go to Fairlight and change the attributes of the 2nd track by making it stereo.
When I drag a Mono audio file in, it is only on the left side. I cannot figure out a way to force the audio to be on the right. That’s why I have to edit the attributes and make track 2 stereo (in order to force audio out the right side).
SOOOO …. is there a much easier way to force audio this??
