Well I normally aim right of the target and get a draw that works perfect.
I've been trying to aim straight but I end up with a slice. Any help?

And should I bother trying to fix this? Aiming right isn't causing any problems right now

If you align to the right and get a draw, your clubface is slightly closed relative to your swing path. If you aligned to the target, the same swing would still produce a draw, moving to the left of the target.

The reason you slice if you aim square could be because you normally hit with a closed clubface, which would send the ball to the left. To counter this, you swing out-to-in or keep the clubface open.

If you should do something about this is something you have to figure out. The saying goes; "If it ain't broken, don't fix it". Lots of people play with a stock shot. Since you aim right, you probably swing somewhat square, so the only thing not square is the slightly closed clubface. Should not be too hard to work on keeping the clubface square, might be a small adjustment in the grip.
