Comment:

 Starting with the second snippet (which is missing a comma after 'page')
 puts the metabox in the side as expected. I suspect that this is happening
 because you previously moved the metabox on the screen, which is saved as
 a setting and overrides where the code tells it to go. Can you reproduce
 either on a clean install or with a different user (since the metabox
 position settings are a user preference)? You can also delete the
 preference (`meta-box-order_page` for that user in the usermeta table) if
 you like.
