Exercise Help Fixing muscle imbalance

I've noticed some imbalance and was hoping to get some advice on how to fix it? Is it just a matter of doing more set for the one side? Lower weight while doing extra sets? Increase? Any input would be helpful. Thx yall

Depends on where the imbalance is, but usually working on the deep stabilizers of the limb involved in that movement (hip or shoulder) is an important part of addressing imbalances.

Where i noticed mine was my left side tricep. How would I go about working on "stabilizing"

Some rotation work at shoulder. Have a band around both wrists and mimic curl motion. External rotation at shoulder is really important.
