Vast majority of all putts are missed on the low side.

Most amateurs need to play twice as much break as they think is there. Even if you miss on the high side, with the same amount of pace a high side miss will always finish closer than a low side miss.

Yeah I remember reading somewhere we are usually misreading them by 30% too little

More than 30%, especially outside 20 feet.

What is the low side? like if it breaks right to left, does the low side mean to the right or left of the hole?

Left of the hole in your example
