Ok I got that solved. Looks like the 5th theme creator has forgot to put the left and right tower ads code from default index.template.php into his theme's index.template.php. Just copy paste that code and you get the left and right towers working.

Can the 5th theme creator please correct this mistake in their theme. Thanks.

It isn't really the theme creator's fault if their theme is not compatible with every feature of every mod. If this were the case, there would be far fewer themes on the Theme Site. :)

Yes it's not, but that theme rests in curve variation and secondly ..it does have code for other ads just like in index.template.php. So I assumed the theme creator has left out the code for left and right tower ads by a simple mistake.
