I'm writing this answer because I wanted the opposite. One day IntelliJ suddenly started aligning the buttons to the left.
There are at least two toolbars in IntelliJ:
- The Toolbar which is aligned to the left,
- and the Navigation bar which is aligned to the right.
The buttons of both toolbars can be customized independently.
Therefore, in order to show the toolbar one side or the other, press CTRL + SHIFT + A and then type either View Toolbar or View Navigation bar.

Previous answers didn't work for me because in mac CTRL + SHIFT + A does nothing and View -> Toolbar doesn't exist, actually it's View -> Appearance -> Toolbar.
In mac, for Android Studio 4.2 (it changed the toolbars/navigation when updating) you can right click the Navigation bar (the one that shows the current file location at the top left) and hide it, untick "Show Navigation bar".
Then, toggle the Toolbar, View -> Appearance -> Toolbar on and off, this will show the icons to the left, as in my previous instance of Android Studio.
Now you can re-enable the Navigation bar and it will show below the Toolbar.
