Pretty simple.

Delete half your model. Unwrap the remaining half. Put Symmetry mod on top of the Unwrap mod.

okay, and then after I apply the symmetry after unwrap mod, then what? is there a way to go into the uv editor after you apply the symmetry mod and preview the uv layout with the symmetry applied? that is where I get confused

Add another Unwrap modifier on top of the sym

With chance of confusing this further; I think you have to collapse the UVW unwrap below the symmetry, before changes will show up in the unwrap you apply above that.
