I got out an old copy of Rubank Intermediate and looked at the measure. I agree with the others that playing it on the right side is the best way.
It is sometimes difficult to move two fingers simultaneously, especially these two fingers, and I think that might be the issue you're facing. Going from D to C-sharp (or high A to G-sharp) with the left hand presents the same kind of problem. I don't have the Rubank Advanced books in front of me, but in both books there are sections that deal with interesting and sometimes awkward fingering situations, and I think this might be one of them.
If it's easier for now, play the C-sharp on the left. It isn't necessarily wrong, but it's not the best way to do it. As others have suggested try, to learn it both ways, and make sure your fingers are curved. When you're warming up, spend a few minutes going from E to C-sharp on the right side very slowly. Ask your teacher to look at your right hand position because this could be an issue.
