posterior part of the arch of the 5th rib
Explanation:
https://theodora.com/anatomy/the_ribs.html

The ribs are elastic arches of bone, which form a large part of the thoracic skeleton. They are twelve in number on either side; but this number may be increased by the development of a cervical or lumbar rib, or may be diminished to eleven. The first seven are connected behind with the vertebral column, and in front, through the intervention of the costal cartilages, with the sternum (Fig. 115); they are called true or vertebro-sternal ribs

In fact "arch" could probably be omitted

neutral  Sue Davis: I did consider this, but in fact the arch is the whole rib, there is not a separate posterior arch
