If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Canon said my camera is compatible with this lens I purchased. Not home yet and at brunch. Just picked lens up. I know nothing about lens or cameras for the most part. And not sure if my camera would bottleneck the capability of the lens? Thank you again!

Your camera can use any and all Canon brand EF or EF-S lenses. You can't use Canon brand EF-M, RF or RF-S lenses these lenses are designed for mirrorless cameras. Note this lens is designed for Full Frame cameras. This will cause the lens to have and Angle of View (AOV) of 112-320mm. The crop is caused by the image sensor being smaller than 35mm film or a Full Frame digital image sensor.

Hi and welcome to the forum:
I am not quite sure what you precisely mean by 'bottleneck' the lens. Give the model of the camera is a SL3 it should be able to fit and operate the EF 70-200 L MkIII with no issues and you should be able to take excellent photographs with it - depending up on precisely what you want to photograph and output - i.e. social media, digital devices, small-medium prints, larger prints.
The rest is down to your skill level and that will require quite a learning curve if you are new to dedicated cameras, but the journey is worth it. Start with the camera on P mode, not A or the flash will keep popping up.
Here is a link to some tutorials you may find useful.

If you have not done so, download a PDF copy of your user guide from the following link:
gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/2/0300034502/03/eosrebelsl3-eos200d2-ug2-en.pdf
Read at least the basics of the manual and use it as your first reference for information.
Some hints:
Cards:
Only full-size cards (NOT micro-adapters) they do not work well with cameras.
Use only cards from reputable brands like Lexar, SanDisk, Prograde and from real stores - lots of duds on the web.
When you finish a day's shooting, turn off the camera, remove the card and put it in an SD card reader attached to your computer, copy the files across, then return the card. Format the card clean using the camera's format command.
Batteries:
Canon OEM batteries are best, otherwise SmallRig or Kingma - always have at least one charged spare with you.
Don't turn the camera off while the red light near the battery door is ON. The camera is saving images to disc
Try not to change lenses in the open, if you do, turn it off, point the camera lens down and remove the lens, immediately put the other lens on and then cap the lens you took off.
