There is a common mistake in archery (so common in fact that it has become the norm) when describing a bow. In traditional terms there is no "front" of a bow. The back of the bow (that portion that faces away from you) is commonly now referred to as the front. The portion of the bow that faces you is called the belly which today most call the back.
The way you're describing this you would have had to buy a left hand rest if the cord is on the side of the bow facing away from you. And you don't connect the cord to the bow string. You attach it to the downward moving cable. Attached is a pic of a right hand rest how it attaches to the bow.
