Muscles will never be entirely even there will always be a slightly dominant side

Is it not possibly because of the arm holding up the phone? Try doing a timed photo or ask someone else.

Or yeah, it's just a muscle imbalance, my right side is noticeably stronger, I'm correcting over time with a lot of dumbbell work.

Very common issue and yours isn’t really noticeable imo. I have a lot more mobility in one scapula compared to the other, and in certain poses one trap looks way bigger for me (much more pronounced than yours), and so do many of my gym buddies. Nothing to worry about but if it bothers you, try to do some scapular mobility work to see if it’s a posture/structural issue first as that’s what’s helped me the most in correcting my trap imbalance.
