It's on purpose and makes more sense this way. They want the pump to be submerged in gas even when the car is at a sharp angle up or down.
By putting the pump in a 5L "dent" on the right side the pump is submerged when the tank has 0.0L on the gauge.
If the pump was in the bigger side it would take about 20L of gas to submerge the pump but more importantly when you are pointing down or up the pump would be dry.
