If you use the Sneak Attack (on the right side, not the default attacks on left) you will get 2 damage numbers on your combat log. That second number is Sneak attack damage, not your off hand attack.
Your Off hand attack, uses your Bonus Action, so instead of "always using it" and maybe screwing up a plan that had your Bonus Action for something else, it has to be done manually. It will be on the right side HotBar.
