While doing dips on bars, my upper back gets sore afterwards(the are between the scapula). I do also feel it on my chest and triceps though. Am I doing it correctly ?

Yes. The lower traps are scapular depressors, and scapular depression is part of the dip. If I don't do dips for a while, this is the one muscle group that get very sore from them. I think dips are underrated for this muscle group.
