No doubt something hit the aircraft but I don't believe it was a "drone".
I'm not sure why you think it was going sideways - that looks like a perfectly feasible place for an object strike. And they don't have to be fridge-sized either - this is the damage caused by a small bird to a significantly thicker bit of nose section than that radome:
(Admittedly I was going a bit faster than a 737!)
