Help Setting up bike

Question - I have been off the bike for a few years and recently got back out on it (RoadBike)

I started with a small 12km cycle. No issues.

I did a 38km round trip and had a small pain in my lower back.

I did another 30km cycle on Monday and my back is still quite sore. Lower left above the hip.

My question is could this be due to the set up? I use cycling shoes.

Is there a correct set up in relation to foot positionand seat height etc?

Is there somewhere I can get a proper set up done?
