A proper history and clinical examination needs to be done. Only then it confirmed what kind of a TMJ disorder are you suffering from.
Visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

Discrepancy in jaw joint can also lead to neck and shoulder pain. Get a OPG scan done and see a dentist in your city who deals with occlusion. A good occlusal splint can help relieve all your pains. I can't see your city through mobile app or else would have referred you one in your city.

You have an issues with your Right TMJ (Tempro mandibular joint). For ur neck back & shoulder pain, it might be referred pain or it might be due to some nerve compression.
Next Steps
Visit your Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon ( Specialist Dentist) as soon as possible for your Right TMJ clicking. For your neck n other pain if it's referred pain he will take care. But if you are experiencing it due to nerve compression you may have to visit Neurosurgeon
