Depends on what radiators. There are often protrusions for tubing, making adjacent placements impossible.

I am getting a case that can fit a 360mm radiator on the front but I'm only getting a 240mm, so can I put in the radiator and a 120mm case fan on the same side

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

The question is why? Are you concerned about fresh air from a fan opposed to warmed air from a radiator?

 

With radiators, you're better off with a greater surface area.for cooling and you'll probably benefit with lower noise as the fans won't need to be ramp up as much. Conversely, if cost is a problem (affording a 360mm vs. 240mm system) then yes, you can run a fan in the empty space if that floats your boat.
