Lerp slowing down at the end even when using the right method

Hey so i have a camera bob script where it bobs when i land to give it a dynamic feel, it works great but when i set my fps to 60 it sort of slows down near the end like shown in the video

Here is how i calculate the land offset

 Vector3 offset = Vector3.zero;
 timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime;
 normalizedTime = timeElapsed / bobDuration;

 if (camOffset == Vector3.zero) return offset;
 if (normalizedTime >= 0.15f) timeElapsed = 0f;

 if (timeElapsed < bobDuration)
 {
     camOffset = Vector3.Lerp(camOffset, endBobValue, timeElapsed / bobDuration);
 }
 else
 {
     camOffset = endBobValue;
 }
 offset = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.localPosition, camOffset, ref vel, bobSmoothTime);

 return offset;

Its called in LateUpdate and i set my localPos to it, so like this

 Vector3 newPos = CalculateLandOffset();
 transform.localPosition = newPos;

and finally i call this function whenever i need to

 public void CameraLand(float mag)
 {
     float magnitude = (mag * bobMultiplier);
     magnitude = Mathf.Round(magnitude * 100f) * 0.01f;
     magnitude = Mathf.Clamp(magnitude, 0f, maxOffset);
 
     if (magnitude < 0.5f)
     {
         magnitude = 0f;
     }
 
     camOffset = camHolder.InverseTransformDirection(Vector3.down) * magnitude;
 }

Hope someone can help me with this
