i never did try it open side up, but i know lots of people here have and it works for them. maybe you've got picky hens.
i don't think it could hurt to try it sideways. the worst that could happen is that they wouldn't like that, either.
i put the board on to keep the nest material (and, uh, the hen, ha ha) from sliding out the side. i think she liked it better without the board and sitting on the ground, to be honest, so i wonder how you'd fare with it open and close to ground level.
