Yes you want a metal drip edge that goes up under the shingles then
hangs over the fascia that the gutter is attached to. It should be
installed before the shingles are put on. In your case you can slide
some flashing up under the edge of the shingles and either have it hang
over that back edge of the gutter, or bend it down so the water doesn't
run back up under the bottom due to surface tension.

So is there supposed to be something other that the shingles hanging over a
little bit?

There's no drip edge either, which should keep water from going back up under.

So it appears to me the reason I have rain water running down behind
the gutters on a section of the house is because whoever put the
shingles on did not overhang them off the end of the roof as seen in
the photo. A 2nd photo shows a different section with them hanging
over. Maybe I can just insert a row of shingles up under the end of the
last row along that edge to solve the problem. I have some of the left
over shingles in the garage.
In the first picture, it looks like there is a low spot about 1/2 exposed
shingle width from the gutter and then the shingle slopes up to the
gutter.
If that's the case, extending the shingles will do no good.
