  There are plenty of left groupings in English:

  newspaper editor strike
  electric light socket
  bass guitar player
  first base umpire
  television series director
  very fast typist

  etc etc
  The fact that you happened to picked examples that right grouping (and
btw, bright yellow star is LEFT grouping, not right.  The color is bright
yellow)
is jsut from your own biases....  :-)
