I never get sore from them but when i do upperchest they get more sore-what angle do people use for them to hit front delt better-and do behind the neck presses hit the front or just the sides?

Front delt is hit indirectly by so many other exercises that many don't do stuff specifically for front delts. BP for example. If when you're doing upper chest they're being hit more you should do that version instead. Also try front DB laterals. Trap work also hits em.

i agree with Pump, the front delts get hit hard with flat benches and inclines both bb and db, front delts are probably the most overused bodypart in training.
-
Yeah, i still train front delts when i hit shoulders, but i only do 3 sets of smith machine presses.
I work my Medial and posterior delts more (sets, exercises) than front delts.

Behind-neck presses should mostly hit side and rear delts, but then again pretty much any press will hit all 3 to varying degrees.

Yep - this is why presses are so great for the shoulders - I never really have to directly train my front delts and my rear delts through any other exercise because presses do the job just fine.
-
The dumbell shoulder press is my favorite deltoid exercise. I feel empowered when I do them. That and lateral raises are all I do for them.
-
put the bench on a more raised angle than is usually used for the incline bench press that should help

If seated I have a very slight angle but standing I am completely vertical, either way they get worked. I think like most said though, they get used to a lot of work with most other exercises.
