Hello and welcome to HCM,
Pain in upper right side can be due to liver related problems, gall bladder problems like cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, musculoskeletal problems, etc.
Normal liver enzymes- AST and ALT rule out liver related problems.
Gall bladder problems like cholecystitis associated with cholelithiasis (gall bladder stones) is a very common problem thus there is a possibility of involvement of gall bladder and not liver.
Thanks and take care
