Says in the AC + Dex mod bit that there is an override. That is likely what is bringing you up to 13, as it should be 14 (10 + Dex {2} + Shield {2}) I'd check that first, to see why there is an override. Your shield is not selected as equipped, which is why it's not showing as a bonus. The +2 Misc bonus is also likely a manual adjustment. With no overrides or other odd adjustments, it should show a 14.

You appear to have manually overridden your AC calculation with a base of 11 and a bonus of 2, and you haven't actually equipped your shield. What you'll want to do is:
Good morning all ☀️
I’m just trying to figure out why/how I have an AC of 13 without owning any armor, holding a shield (for the +2) & my DEX mod is +2.
I believed I’ve searched my character sheet for this mysterious extra +1 bump but I haven’t found anything yet.
My character is a 1st Lvl Tiefling Ranger if that helps anyone solve this mystery 🕵🏾♂️
Thanks in advance. 🙏🏾
Can you provide a link to your character sheet?
Normally your armor class is 10 + your dex modifier when unarmored so in theory your AC should be 14 if you also have a shield.

This should fix your AC calculation to be 14
