On watchuseek.com, people have made comments that the hollow link on Makos can be a problem.

I have a bunch of spare Mako and Ray end links/bracelets if you really wanted to test it before buying another bracelet. I put a Seiko 5 bracelet on my Mako at one point and it was fine too. I have an extra Ray as well in my junk drawer. Hollow end-links can also easily be bent to fit other watches and maybe its bent a bit out of compliance over 10 years.
To know for sure if it's one side, you can always flip the hollow end links from one side to another.
