If the mass in section 6, even small, is approximate the liver surface, it can distend the liver capsule and causes discomfort. You may be able to make the distinction by moving your chest wall muscle and ribs by moving the right shoulder back and forth. If pain exacerbates a lot, pain is likely of musculoskeletal origin. However, you should not worry much, wait for MRI to be done.
