If you look at someone from the side, the lungs take up the space from the chest all of the way to your back. Lungs are not flat, they are three-dimensional. Behind your lungs is the spine, back of rib cage, and back muscles.

Does the liver store insulin?
As noted in the expert answer - the pancreas, not the liver, manufactures insulin. The pancreas sits in a space in the abdominal cavity near the liver. It is behind the stomach and a bit below the liver. The pancreatic duct from the pancreas joins up with the bile duct from the liver and gall bladder where the two ducts enter the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine that connects to the stomach) through the major duodenal papilla.

The liver is situated in the right higher abdominal area, directly below and behind the lowest ribs.
