By sides, I mean the front, back or other walls of the enclosure. Humidity is controlled by the amount of ventilation you have. The more ventilation you have the more the humidity can escape.

In that case let's say I put ventilation holes on the back panel. Would placing them near the bottom or top of the back panel be better for maintaining cooler conditions?

Placing them closer to the top will make the enclosure cooler.
