Your upper wisdom tooth is supraerupting,as there is no opposing tooth to it,and hence exerting pressure on lower mucosa of same side.
Proper clinical examination is required to evaluate the cause.
It`s better to get your upper right wisdom tooth also extracted.
Next Steps
Visit a local dentist and get it clinically evaluated.

Hi,
The socket has healed well. I suggest you get a x-ray RVG for the area to rule out ay small remnants that may not be visible in the x-ray OPG.

Hey ,
Since the right wisdom tooth was removed 7years back there are chances that the opposing tooth I.e the right upper posterior most teeth has supra-erupted and will be exerting pressure on the lower mucosa and can be the cause of pain … but this can be confirmed again on clinical examination ,also is the pain constant or seen intermittently on biting or chewing ??
Once we find the cause we can discuss about the treatment u
Next Steps
Clinical examination would give a proper view to your problem hence kindly visit the clinic when time permits
