This appears to be a simple weight painting error combined with a joint misplacement.

  1. The top of the shoulder is not weighted with the arm, so it digs into it like a rigid shoulder plate armor piece. I suggest trying automatic weights. But first consider,
  2. The joint for the shoulder appears to be too far out from the body, but it’s hard to tell without a screenshot showing the relaxed armature. I suggest editing the armature so that joint is closer to the body, probably coplanar with the side.
