It depends on how you think of the political spectrum. If you consider it in regards to things like order, hierarchy, equality, the desire to preserve or return to some idealised social structure (one of the defining features of fascism is the idealisation of a mythologised historical greatness), the Fascism can only be understood as being at the very right end of the political spectrum.

If you view it as being somehow around "how much the state intervenes in the economy", well, you are wrong. Or to put it in other terms, you are suddenly considering that Proudhon and Bakhunin are right wingers; or that the literal right wingers of the French revolution as in the people who literally created the concept of what right wing is - were left wing because they didn't like capitalism. (cf "Louis XIV was a socialist").

Or in other words, Fascism can only be understood as a far right ideology

This is essentially my view. Very good point.
