5. Lie on your face on the floor with your hands by your sides. (What about this one?)
Answered by Reed
One has (usually) two hands and two sides. "sides" is appropriate. In #3, "both" is redundant. We only have two sides.

"by" and "on" are synonymous in this context.

#5 is fine.

Actually, "by" and "on" are not exactly synonymous. "by" doesn't mean touching your sides; "on" does.
