Check box basically have two components first is indicator and other is the label by default indicator is at the left hand side. In order to make the indicator at the right hand side we have to change its layout direction from left to right side.

Syntax : checkbox.setLayoutDirection(Qt.RightToLeft)

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *

import sys
  
  
class Window(QMainWindow):
  
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
  
        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")
  
        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)
  
        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()
  
        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()
  
    # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):
  
        # creating the check-box
        checkbox = QCheckBox('Geek ?', self)
  
        # setting geometry of check box
        checkbox.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 30)
  
        # changing position of indicator
