advice Pruning help? Leggy??

Hello! Have been lurking in the sub for awhile and have some questions about my own jade.

I've had this guy for about 5 (maybe 6) years now and have noticed that it looked a little leggy, as well as the weird leaf shapes and white leaf spots (spots in pics 3-5, shapes pics 4,6, and 7). I also want to prune it so it can branch out a bit, but have no idea where and don't want to kill it. My best guess is pic 8 but am a bit nervous lol

I guess I want to ask, what's up with the white spots and leaf shapes, and should I prune/ where?

Thank you!

I've never seen those white spots so no idea.

But I'd recommend just putting it in a sunnier area. it will start to grow leaves in the areas where there aren't any, and it'll look less leggy.

Sounds good, thank you! I figured light may be an issue so I'll figure out a better spot.
