So I am making 20% less than my colleagues based in HCOL west coast (I am in the Bay Area too) and 5% less than even my counterparts from the South (ATL/NO). During interviews, HR shut down every conversation to negotiate and I just needed a job at the time and I really like this company so I took it. Annual salary review is coming up in January so I was wondering how I should go about bringing up my concerns from now til then. Idk if it'll even make a difference. Anything y'all recommend?

First - you'll have to bring it up to your boss who is doing your review. Every place I've been at, your raise is based on your performance review and a "generous" raise that is non-promotion based is 5%.
Second - when you bring it up to your boss at review time, be sure to provide concrete examples on why you deserve it, but you can't say "You're paying other people X" because it comes off as gossipy and whiny.
Third - All else fails - look for a new job. I've only gotten raises from leaving jobs.

Bring it up before review time so they can incorporate your thoughts into the review.

This - before review is when action can be taken
Be balanced - say you like the job but want to be fairly treated. It’s not an immediate threat but clearly over time if you are not in line it’s a problem so you are looking forward to review time to see what happens and how your view of your performance and the firms align
