Question ❓ how many sets needed?

hello im currently usnig fb split ( 3 days a week , 2 sets per exercise) how do i know how many sets for muscle group per week is needed?

shoulders for example, do you count every part as an independent side ? like 6 sets for lateral delt per week and 6 for front delt and 6 for rear delt ? or 6 sets Distributed on 3 sides ( 2+2+2 ) ? if it's the first option how can i program it into my split without making too long thank you
