For me:
Tap = LMB
Side-button-1 click = MMB
Side-button-2 click = RMB

I don't use the side buttons as modifiers, I use them as actual
buttons.  I thought this was standard?  I've never used a tablet any
other way, and I've never done any special configuration...?

Then again, I am on Linux.  So the default behavior may be different.
