I've modified the sample code you got from Wolfgang to include chapter headings
and it all looks fine to me[1] - the red text is all on the right hand side and
the greeen text is all on the left. If this doesn't help and you still have
problems then you'll need to post a sample that actually shows the problem. I'm
using ConTeXt ver: 2023.09.04 19:15.

[1] Apart from unnecessary blank pages at the beginning but that's a different
problem so I'm not addressing that for now.
