Definitely more light!

But also, some bending/flattening is to be expected as they age and grow longer leaves. Since yours is still small, I would recommend more light. Hope this helps!!

This is my plant and when I got it, it was smaller than yours. This is a year and a half growth. It’s in my bathroom south/west lighting. Sitting on the ledge of my bathtub. It’s crazy how big it got. It’s starting to out grow its corner.
