Android Central Question

This is a very specific, but annoying issue. Before the 8.0.0 update, my Android had the home touch buttons on the left side, even in Landscape mode. I liked this feature because it allowed for easy web browsing with one hand, even when the phone was charging. After the update however, the buttons are on the "bottom" of the screen (left if the phone is landscaped on its right side and vice versa) no matter what, meaning I have to reach all the way to the other side of the screen to reach the back button if browsing one-handed. Is there any way to fix this? Possibly a hidden option I am unaware of?

There are usually settings for Home, Back and Recents in Settings, but different manufacturers add or delete different options. If you search Settings for back or recents you'll probably find whatever your phone has.
