This is how I have it on my forum, sidebar will show under topstats and looks better for people with lower screen resolution.

<div id="pagetitle">
        <h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
        <p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
    </div>
{vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_above_forums}
{vb:raw vsatopstats}
    <vb:if condition="$show['sidebar']">
    <div id="content_container"<vb:if condition="$show['sidebarposition'] == 'left'"> class="contentright"</vb:if>>
        <div id="content">
    </vb:if>
    <!-- main -->
    <ol id="forums" class="floatcontainer">
        {vb:raw forumbits}
    </ol>
        {vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_below_forums}
    <!-- /main -->
