I'd suggest getting checked out by a chiropractor

Pain right after benching

Yeah, dips bother it, too.
Yes, but it doesn't hurt in the traps.
I would, but can't afford that at the moment.
Have you tried stretching and foam roller?
Stretching, but I see no way to foam roll that area.
I use this small 3" roller at my gym for rolling shoulders.
AC joint impingement. If it's right in that area where the shoulder comes into the collar bone it's the AC joint. Ditch barbell presses and stick with close grip partials on machines for awhile. Pushups are good too. You will probably need to train lighter and stick with partials awhile until it goes away

That would be your conoid ligament my man attaches your caracoid process to your clavical. It’s probably strained. Do this stretch but rotate your arm so
The fingers point down.

I had that same pain last year about this time. Ended up finding out it was just an impingement. I just took maybe 8 weeks off pressing over 75% of my 1rm and started doing a lot of stretching specific to my front delt and started doing more rear delt work.
Fast forward to now, I'm back to pressing mid-upper 300's again without any pain.

How is your rear delt development?
Not much compared to front delts. I do squat, bench, and deadlift almost exclusively with very little of anything else.

May wanna address some accessory work if only for the sake of injury prevention. Would probably only help your lifts also. Id say get a light figure 8 resistance band and do high rep pull-aparts. Great for shoulder rehab and strengthening the tendons, ligaments and muscles of the rear delts.
I do back every day I'm in the gym. I alternate chin ups with rows, also alternative hamstrings and adductors/abductors. I've just added rows in recently as I've never really done them much.
Seated cable rows are great.

Heavy dumbbell rows will help your dead lockouts. Youtube/Google Matt Kroc "Kroc Rows" good shit i love em
I really think CA may be onto something here Perrin. I am definitely playing a big game of catch on these myself. use a band and do pullaparts so that the band hits your chest at the same spot the barbell hits your chest on bench. you can either do them Pronated or supinated. supinated is much more shitty/hard, but i feel it opens up the chest more.
I'll start adding them in daily. Need this problem to go away so I can get back to benching heavy. Haven't went over 335lbs in months.

Yea they've helped me. Band work was a steady part of my rehab for my shoulder. That and daily stretching. I can't emphasize stretching enough
Stretching and cardio I definitely have trouble with keeping up.

Treat the stretching as serious as you do your lifts and it'll help alot
