Where should save button be on form?
Sometimes users might need to save their progress on a long form. Putting the 'save and exit' button above the primary button implies it's more important, when it isn't. Putting it below can cause an unwieldy list of stacked buttons and uses the area reserved for the cancel button.
Should save button be on top or bottom?
Considering that your users will typically navigate to one category, make a change, then click Save Changes, I think placing the button at the bottom/left is best. If your users were frequently making changes across multiple categories, then you'd have a good argument for placing the button at the top.
Should submit buttons be on left or right?
For full page forms, submit buttons should be left aligned at the bottom of the page.
Where do I put buttons in UX?
Full page designs should have the primary button on the left side of the page. If the browser window is large, or you have to scroll down to fill out a form, it's best to have the primary button right below the last bit of content on the page.
