My levator scapulae is really tight. I have been doing active release with a lacrosse ball.
I also have a "flat" thoracic spine which may be contributing to symptoms.

Well one thing I have learnt, that muscle inhibition is an issue. If your lats are very tight, they will pull your arm down even if you try to raise your arms and that might cause a perception of lower trap and serratus weakness.
Levator is tight as a symptom, not a cause by itself. I have the same issue.
