Hello,

I am trying to create a shortcode and am having trouble with the repeater field inside of it.

What I expect to happen:
A working return with left and right output.

What happens:
Left is working fine. On the right I am getting syntax error, unexpected 'if' (T_IF) on the first if statement of the repeater field.

function news_single_shortcode() {

    $left .= '<div class="left">
                <h2>' . get_field("news-title") . '</h2>'
                . get_field("news-content") .
            '</div>';

    $right .= '<div class="right">'
        if( have_rows('news-files') ):
        while ( have_rows('news-files') ) : the_row();
        $file = get_sub_field('news-uploaded');
        if( $file ):
    '<a class="item" href="#" target="_blank">' . $file['filename'] . '</a>
    </div>';

    return $left . $right;
}
add_shortcode('news_single', 'news_single_shortcode');
