Attaching arms

Ive made a few sweaters but theyve all been raglan because I think its much more convenient. The only knit piece Ive had to attach was my first ever knitted article of clothing which was a jacket but I hate how the sleeves cause there to be a big bump where theyre connected to the body at the shoulder. Is there any way to attach arms so that you dont get this bump or are you supposed to block it to get rid of it? Ive tried looking on YouTube but I have no idea what Im supposed to put in the search bar so Im a little lost. Id just like any advice because I really hate the look of that awkward bump but I also hate the look when the sleeves pinch in where they connect.
I was thinking about maybe increasing a crazy amount on the last row of my sleeves and that way I could connect the sleeve and only use one bar per knitted V which avoids that pinched-in look but I dont know if that would work. Any tips are greatly appreciated

Have you tried grafting? It means sewing live stitches, not sure if thats something you can still do, or if you would need to undo a bind off at the top of the sleeves.
I like seamless top-down sweaters because I dont need to worry about seams, the downside is they have less stability/durability, everything sags down with time :)
