biceps....and genetics
is it possible to have different peaks for different arms? I feel like my left is attached to my elbow and right has a bigger gap between them.....

That's fairly normal. I have it a bit too, nothing too much though - it will even out once you grow bigger.
If you feel your symmetry is starting to fail as you grow, add some unilateral exercises to bring up the weak arm.
Hope to have helped. Rasmus

its not so much weaker, i actually prefer my left arms peak is higher and is longer.....my right is fuller....idk to be honest i think my bigger right lat is making me hold the bar different and forcing them to grow different....and my right lat is bigger due to a shoulder injury lol....oh lawd this one shoulder injury i had a few years back through my body out of whack....but ive never really bulked but i am this fall so maybe they will even out

I once broke my collar bone during a rugby match, that wacked my body out of order aswell. Good form, a lean bulk and attention to detail is what you need

I'm pretty sure that your non-favored arm has to compensate for being less coordinated by being bigger.

while flexing twist your wrist some to make the shape change, my one bicep looks longer than the other and the non longer one has a better peak or so i thought. I simple twisted the one wrist some and the gap goes away or comes back depending.
thats why I switched over to barbell work on curls to keep my wrist in the same angle, I still do db stuff as well just trying to even up the forearms / insertion area.

This is actually quite common.
One of your biceps has a bigger inner head and one has a bigger outer head. I have it too.
There is really nothing that you can do short of synthol. It's just genetic shape more than anything.
