How to position game objects in different screen resolutions?

I have designed my game on 1280 x 800 screen. I have positioned objects on the screen using screen width and height as a reference, say 30% from left etc.

when i run the game on lower resolutions the objects are not in correct places. I thought that in small resolutions it will work automatically.

What is the standard methods used to display properly on all screen sizes?

I have a Orthographic camera setup. for 1280 x 800 screen size i have the size at 400

I didn’t do anything special, I used following code to place object right side of the screen

 gameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(Screen.width,gameObject.transform.position.y,gameObject.transform.position.z);

and following for the camera, to center it

 float usingHeight             = Screen.height;
 float usingWidth            = Screen.width;
         
         
 //camera.orthographicSize     = usingHeight/2;
 camera.transform.position     = new Vector3(usingWidth/2,usingHeight/2,0.0f);

in 1280 x 800 the object get placed nicely at the right edge, lower resolution they do not. But the objects size seems to be correct for say 480x320.

if I set the orthographicSize it might work, I don’t know how to calculate it properly
