Google console saying pages are not being indexed and also options for customers uploading photos

The problem is Google search console  reports saying that 329 pages are not indexed because of "alternate page with proper canonical tag"-(saying it is a website issue) but I am NOT going to worry about that because of what experts have previously posted.

 

HOWEVER a further 305 are "crawled not currently indexed" (which is a google issue) then 4 are "Not Found" and 4 are "Blocked by Robots" (website issues)

I see these issues have come up before and pointers have been provided but they involved inputting bits of code in head section -blah blah all gobbledegook and I am not technical and will need someone to actually fix this for me. 

The number of "not indexed" pages has halved in 2 months (sounds good?) so does it need fixing at all or should I just wait?

When outsourcing am I asking a web developer to fix this, or specifically SEO experts?

 Is this quite a quick fix, what are we saying here-half an hour? a couple of hours?

 

Secondly- I want to improve my offering by allowing customers to upload a photo which can be applied to a product-however I foresee a lot of problems with this, so would welcome suggestions as to how to manage this and avoid inappropriate or poor quality content..(maybe a tick box disclaimer?) and appropriate app suggestions for Shopify Dawn theme please.

I think you've got a mix of indexing issues going on. If your "not indexed" pages are dropping, that’s a good sign.

However, the "crawled not currently indexed" ones could still use attention.

 

It might be worth consulting an SEO expert or try an indexer since they can diagnose and fix these issues quickly.
