I had to buy an entire caliper assembly just to get the mounting
bracket, cause one of my sliding mounting bolts was seized. Now I'm
stuck with a new caliper, since I changed the driver side 6 mos ago.

Can I use it on the passenger side? The only difference appears to be
the bleed screw is on the opposite side and it doesn't seem to
obstruct anything else.

You'll end up with the bleeder not at the top, and possibly a hose
connection that doesn't aim the right way. Other than those items, yes it
will work. But you wouldn't put on just one anyway.
