Should I worry about uneven muscle development?

Hey guys, I'm hoping to finally start taking the gym seriously and making some solid gains, my problem is that I have a uneven muscle development.
The left side of my body is smaller than the right in every muscle group, most noticeable in my calves, arms and traps.
I'm guessing this is due to bad form when I was younger (started messing around with weights at around 12 years old), however I am relatively skinny, sitting at around 140lbs at 6ft.

Should I worry about trying to fix the issues specifically when I sort the nutrition side of things out, or as I'm skinny should I just focus on bulking using proper form for each lift and hope it sorts itself out?
The imbalance isn't too big as my muscle groups are small, I just don't want the problem to progress to the point where it's super noticeable.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Well the imbalances will even out as long as you are eating right and doing a program like my PPL. Are you logging in the @mealplan? What are your macros?
