You must have read a Korean version of Slam Dunk.
거들다 positively means to help others, and negatively to intervene in other people's business.
In that context, it's positive.
Imagine a basketball player holding the basketball.
He has his left hand tight on the side of the ball to support it and shoots it with his right hand.
So, I would translate "왼손은 거들뿐" as "the left hand is only for a support."
And you can understand "~뿐" as "only" or "just."
I hope this helps !
