Is there a way in which I can prevent Ubuntu 20.04's windows from going to locations Ubuntu seems to want? I'd prefer to set the window locations for my apps to go where I want them to go.

I would like 1) my word processor to hug the left side of my laptop's screen from top to bottom, 2) my browser to hug he right side of the screen (top to bottom), and my e-mail app to stretch from left side across the wp onto my browser, but to NOT to hug the right side of the screen, and NOT extend to the bottom of the screen.

I've worked extensively over the past 30 years with Mac, MS Windows and Ubuntu 16 and 18 for the past 5 years, but I need to reset Ubuntu daily. Ubuntu 20.04 allows me even LESS freedom than previous versions. Both Mac and Windows allow me to set my screen the way I want. Is there a way I can get Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to do the same?

You can do this with the GNOME extension Auto Move Windows

After installation you can configure how the extension works with your applications.

For it to work effectively you can select which applications to start by selectingStartup Applications Preferences.
