Use paste in place but do note this this command is spread specific so it won't work if you want to paste from a left page to a right page.

Okay, is there a way where i can post from left to right and vice versa?

Hi @James3669094303ct , You can try this script, which copies your selection and then pastes it in place on the page you double-click on in the Pages panel:
//Paste In Place to destination page
//Select a page item, run script, and double-click a page in the Pages panel
#targetengine "pasteinplace";
PasteInPlace()
var el, b, s;
var or = app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;
function PasteInPlace(){
if (app.selection.length > 0) {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
s = doc.selection[0];
var el = app.addEventListener("afterAttributeChanged", getBounds);
el.name = "PIP"
} else {
alert("Please Make a Selection")
return
}
}
function getBounds(e) {
if (e.attributeValue.constructor.name === 'Page') {
app.menuActions.itemByID(118788).invoke();
s.duplicate(app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].activePage);
app.eventListeners.itemByName("PIP").remove();
app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = or;
}
}

Just noticed that @Vivek12 ’s link includes my script—there is a link to a compiled version there.

You can create an Indesign library - then add the objects to the library
Set up both objects on the pages where they are needed
Add them to your Library
You can call one Left Page and the other RIght Page or something simple to remember
When you want to insert it on the page - you select the object in the Library and insert it - it should go to the same location as it was originally on that page.
