Here an excerpt from my score as an example. Would it work for you?

\header {
  title = "music"
  instrument = "harp"
  composer = "me"
}

\paper {
  oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
    \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:composer
    \null
    \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:instrument
    \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:title
    \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first
      \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
  }
        
  evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
    \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first
      \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
    \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:title
    \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:instrument
    \null
    \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:composer
  }
}
