The X-ray attached reveals mesioangular partially erupted upper wisdom tooth .
Owing to its partial eruption and mesioangular placement ,access is difficult.
The tooth is non functional and is not helping you in biting anyway.
Its advisable to remove it ,rather attempting to fill as difficult access will compromise the outcome.
Moreover, due to its placement, it can cause decay of the tooth in front of it !!
Next Steps

Hello,
The x-ray needs to be a little sharper to see the underlying caries
Nevertheless,
1) The filling is far from the nerve of the tooth.
2) The pain could be because of the erupting wisdom tooth and not because of the caries itself.
3) The pain could be due to improper sealing the filling.
4) The pain could also be due to the pressure it's creating on the front tooth.
Next Steps
Either get a re-filling done with removal of all the caries or get a extraction done of the wisdom tooth

The tooth is impacted and hitting the adjacent teeth plus some caries detected . It will worsen the situation if not treated immediately
Next Steps
Next step would be extraction of wisdom tooth.. usually takes 7 days healing time and since it will de done under anaesthesia you won’t experience any pain . And post of meds will be given .
Health Tips
Make sure adjacent tooth is not affected while extraction .
