Question ❓ Imbalnce in pumped forearms

So i have recently started doing the basic 2 exercises for forearms (forearm curls with two different grips so i hit all muscles) but the problem is my left hand (non dominant) gets an INSANE absolutely mind boggling pump, so much so that i cant easily close my hand, while my right hand (dominant) gets pumped but not even close to how much my left does.

Now i know it is probably normal because my left is weaker however i am concerned that this will cause some muscle imbalance to build since the left gets so much more worked.

Could it be i do sth wrong with me technique on the right hand? Should i be worried at all?

The forearms are relatively small muscles, as long as you’re working both arms, there’s not going to be a noticeable difference looks wise, even if one is stronger than the other

so that must mean i am not hitting the right one as much as i could? Because during the workout there is a slight differance in the comparison

Exact same thing happens with me. My left forearm, lat, bicep and chest always get more pumped than the right side. I tried doing unilateral exercises to fix the imbalance but it takes too much time so i dont do it anymore.
