Help duplicating a sketch on another plane

I'd like to repeat this pattern on the other side of the box. I thought I could use the mirror tool to do this, but it always puts my sketch far away from my part. Thanks for any help.

You're picking the wrong mirror location. Also you can mirror a feature instead of the sketch.

I had tried using the mate connector, and still couldn't figure it out. But I got it now, using your help. Thanks!
Also for future reference, the box should have been drawn centered perfectly about the Front and Right plane, rather than the corner of the box like it is now. This allows you to use the default planes for symetrical constraints within sketcher, and for mirroring features outside of sketcher. It's a fundamental CAD concept and comes in super handy.
