We don't have the front or right option, has to be the left wall. My
question, at what height from the ground and how far from the toilet
bowl is best location for most people?

I recall that most institutions have them at elbow height, slightly to
the front. Most homes seem to place them at least lower. maybe even
somewhat closer. I was wondering why this discrepancy, and what works
best in everyone's opinion here?

There are no majic numbers.
The difference you observe between institutional and private mounting
heights probably results from accessibility standards applied to
institutional situations. Many residential situations don't have the
ubobstructed surface of a stall partition, and so are mounted helter
skelter.

Have you considered reaching for an imagined roll a couple of times and
using the resulting "landing zone" as your mounting arrangement?
