The bottom rib of the right side of my rib cage is sensitive to the touch. i have tried poking around under the rib cage to see if there is any pain and there is none. i have had shingles vaccine and have not had any recent injuries. what's wrong?

This doesn’t suggest anything serious. Probably some local soft tissue inflammation which will resolve on its own.
