I don't think you realize the definition of a side story... Sorry but GT won't fit into the manga's timeline without an absurd amount of continuity errors.
Side story is just a term that Toriyama used to describe Dragonball GT in the perfect files, not a definitive, set-in-stone indicator that GT is set in an alternative timeline or continuity. That notion is
implicit at best, therefore please stop trying to tell people that it's a concrete marker or piece of proof that GT cannot be part of the anime continuity.
GT's plot may raise serious continuity errors that contradict Toriyama's work, but as with any long running fiction, these are likely to be as a result of a production oversight as opposed to being a deliberate attempt to detach the story from a particular continuity. Granted, Dragonball GT is
not part of the storyline that Toriyama himself wrote, but it's a
direct anime sequel to Dragonball Z - and there is nothing, official or otherwise, to say that as a
continuation of the story it is any less valid.
