It is good that you are taking breaks in between the work. But maybe further postural awareness is required. Also, the ergonomical assessment of your workplace will also give an idea about what exactly is the problem. I will suggest you to meet me or any physiotherapist who can do a proper evaluation and find the exact cause. Postural re education, upper back mobility and strengthening are few things I will suggest.
Next Steps
get a good postural evaluation done by a physiotherapist

Meet your physiotherapist and set an appointment.
Go for pain relieving modalities first and after 30% of improvement in pain, start strengthning exercises of shoulder and scapular muscles, so that u dont over injure the area by starting with the exercises on the first day.
