If I understand well, you want something as
a c
M
b d
This doesn't need to be done with \sideset
In math mode you can insert superscripts and subscripts in first place, e.g.
Ctrl-M ^a space _b space M etc.
To insert complex superscripts and subscripts (e.g. isotope-like)
and to adjust the spaces you can have a look at sections 3.7 and 20 in Help>Math
manual
