Hey there,
It's a bit difficult to define personal identity because it's very philosophical and philosophy gets very complicated really fast. Personal identity is essentially what defines you as an individual- it's the component that makes you unique. This can include your personality and memories (I'm pretty sure there's more to it but let's avoid spiralling). Social identity is the sense of who you are based on the groups you identify with. This includes your ethnicity, religion, family- it's kinda like the "us vs them" mentality. Think of social identity as the stereotypical cliques you see in those teen chick flicks.
The reason why the agents of socialisation is heavily linked to personal and social identity is because those factors shape both aspects of your identity.
Here are a few resources that might be helpful:
