so i started working out again about 2 weeks ago and i'm seeing positive progress but now my right arm is bigger (more muscular) then my left arm O_o. i do same number of reps with same wieght but my right arm got bigger then my left. How would i go about making my left arm big as my right? Im right handed if it matters.

maybe it's because you use your right arm to do more things instead of your left arm so it doesn't look even. I'm not sure about this though but I think it's cause you do things more with your right arm. Maybe try alternating arms when you do things?

This is can happen if you do any some activity that uses just one arm. Like playing tennis/badminton/racquetball etc. your racket forearm would be noticeably bigger. You might be doing something like that to cause this without even realizing it.

This is common in everyone. No one's arms or any
body parts are perfectly symmetrical. I doubt you can really notice
that much. Especially from only 2 weeks. You can only develop
so much muscle mass in 2 weeks. Which is not a lot at all.
If you're that worried then train the smaller arm more.

Do one-handed pushups with the weaker one.

yea its really annoying when that happens. The only advice I can give you is to leave your bigger arm alone in terms of strength building and work our ur left arm until you feel its about caught up. Just use ur normal weights u usually use for ur left and use lighter ones for your right. This might take a while depending on how different in size ur arms are.
