Similar to slinging any deco mix off of a back mount rig from experience, just something you get used to with time. With the Razor I mostly use, it employs D-rings off of the waist harness directly on your side as the bottom tank mount, as opposed to a buttplate, shortening up the moving distance of the tank in the water so it doesn't really hang, more just floats by your side. That and running a second backup reg (octopus) off of your single first stage. Only really works on the left hand side for inflator access with a short hose running behind your neck up to the right hand access, and the backup tucked into straps around the tank. I've got photos on here somewhere of me running a single tank in sidemount configuration.
