How important is stretching during the week for your workouts?

Your asking a corrective exercise question aka a physical therapy question. It's the logical equivalent of: hey doctors what drugs should I take if I feel I'll. It's retarded.

No one here knows what your postural deficiencies are therefore no one can recommend corrective movements.

I have to focus on not sleeping on my left side or I will get shoulder pain. But other then getting a massage you probably need to get it checked out by a professional. Besides all that, I don't really stretch but I do a lot of warmups before I start lifting. For instance bench, I'll do the bar 5 times, 15lbs per side 5 times, then 50% of my weight 5 times before I actually start. It's helped immensely.

Maybe you have scoliosis

You need a physical therapist for your problem.

To answer your other question: I've added yoga to my off-lifting days. It makes me recover faster and feel 10x better.

The three best stretches for shoulders are 1. Dead Hanging from a bar/scapula pull ups 2. Shoulder dislocations with a band or bar 3. Going against a flat wall with hands shoulder with apart, fixed, and bend down THROUGH your arms. So your arms are behind and above your head on the wall
