Also the lower bottom inner of my chest doesn't seem to form, i know the chest grows as a whole but is there any exercise you can suggest for this??

Well, you cannot honestly be worried about symmetry when you're 117 lbs. I just got done posting in another forum with a guy whose worried that his "upper chest" is lagging when he's only 147!
A couple of months is all it took before you "finished" the two programs by Mark (I assume Rippetoe)? Bullshit on that.... And shame on you for not sticking to ONE PLAN all the way through.
I've explained this a few threads ago to another member (who I just banned). If you're not addressing strength, how the hell are you going to gain any mass?? Strength and mass are INDEED correlated in the sense that doing sets of ten benching with 200 lbs will provide more mass than doing that with 100 lbs.
Worry about sticking with those beginner strength programs and PAY YOUR DUES. After a few years, I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised to see how much mass you packed on worrying about strength vs. doing some "pump sets" of 10-15 reps per set.
