For shoulders you need to make sure you hit the Anterior Deltoid, Medial Deltoid and Posterior Deltoid, because as an example, from what I've seen in my gym, some people work front and side shoulders but they dont do the back of their shoulders, and they say in bodybuilding this is one of the worst mistakes people do and really common coz if you dont work all 3 parts of your shoulders your body shape looks all wrong.
I hope I'm explaining this ok, so you can look online for exercises to make sure you hit all 3 parts, thats all I was trying to say. If your already doing that though then cool. I just dont remember names of exercises very well.
It seems like "reverse dumbbell flyes" is the best exercise to do for rear delts though as an isolation exercise. I do it by leaning over a bench some people just bend over but I find it uses too much of your core to do it that way, but coz of my stomach it makes it more difficult for me also, think slimmer guys can do it no problem but if you do it leaning forward on a bench at a slight incline then you only have to focus on your shoulders instead of keeping your back straight and thinking about your core, and also leaves you with more energy for the exercise.

The rear head of the shoulder extends and rotates the arm outward. Back training such as rows, chin ups, and pull ups involve the rear delts more than most other exercises. Reverse flyes are considered an isolation movement for the rear delts.
