Looking at videos and noticed a slight bend in my left arm? Also, recently have fixed my slice but still looking to fix my shot. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

That’s because you’re hitting a fade. So you set up with your hands close to your body, but if you look down the line, you’ll see at impact that your hands end up further away from your body (out-to-in path), so your left arm HAS to bend or your club head wouldn’t hit the ball lol
Slight bend in the arms is the least of your problems. It you straighten it right after on the down swing. If you don’t want that shorten the back swing. Your problem is you are all upper body. Gotta fire those hips. A few lessons will go a long way👍🏻
You are not getting your lead arm to fold immediately after impact.
This AMG drill should help by giving you the feel of your lead arm rotating anti-clockwise in the lead shoulder joint immediately after impact.

You also need more lateral foot pressure shift to the lead side in the downswing.

Hope this helps
I wouldn’t worry one bit about the left arm doing what it is doing through the hit. It isn’t something that can be controlled, something is acting on it to cause that phenomenon. Instead I would work on getting your body to lead the takeaway. I see a whole lot of club/hands/arms and not much in the way of hips and torso pulling the club away. So the sequencing is backwards. Body needs to pull the club away, and the direction the club moves away is dictated by how the body moves. Work on that heavily and then you will find a ton more momentum build up near the top of your backswing. See where that gets you and re-film and re-assess.
