I only see it when he moves he eye to the far left (my left) when sitting in front of me He acts normal, it doesn’t hurt him and it’s not bulging. What can it be and is it dangerous??

This looks like a possibly either iris atrophy ( a benign eye condition that causes holes in the iris), an eye freckle or even a tumor (lower on the list of possibilities). It is best to get this examined by your vet using an ophthalmoscope to get a closer look and also shine light into it to help us differentiate which condition is likely is. I do hope that this is just a benign eye lesion and nothing to worry about for Jax moving forward. Best wishes and take care.
