For the most part, you only get stronger in the movements you train. There is a degree of carryover, but it is far out-shadowed by movement-specific training.

Only been back training for 5 weeks after about 3 years off. I know the two movements
use different muscles. I just thought my bench was lagging a bit

If your diet's good and your press is going up faster than your bench, then you may want to address that. At the stage your at, it's not uncommon to have your press be that close to your bench.

The body is a system that grows as the system as a whole grows. If your shoulders are significantly stronger than your chest, then chances are your triceps are accounting for a good amount of that. I would tone doennthe shoulder intensity for a while and just maintain them while working in more chest concentration movements. One arm dumbbell really helped my bench catch up.
