In the past few days I’ve noticed a creaking noise from my front left wheel/suspension area on my 2019 SS, I haven’t made any changes this noise just appeared. Seems to happen on most turns, after acceleration when the car comes back down, and going over bumps. I have a video where you can somewhat hear it at separate parts but it is way more apparent in person. Is anyone familiar with this noise or have any guidance on how to figure out the exact issue?

Ball joint and tie rod end is really the only thing that's going to make that noise over there. Strut bearing is going to be like boing sound similar to if you thump a spring.
Sway bar links are going to clack but turning won't really affect it.
Wheel bearing will growl like your driving in gravel.
Lower control arm bushing would make that sound but turning wouldn't make it, it would be more like bumps or hard braking nose dives.
Subframe bolts or bushings maybe. Wouldn't hurt to check how tight they are.

But it sounds like a dry socket from a balljoint by your description
