Sorry, you can't add filters on the left side. if it just a grid report, not an embedded report. Then, there is an alternate solution.
Create a table report with the same columns and filters which you are supposed to add to your grid edit report.
then, after the filters applied, you can click on the grid edit link on the table report.
