How can I add the counts label to each bar of a histogram with facet_grid?

Question

I am trying to add a count label for each bar of a histogram in Shiny. I have seen that is a common question here and I have tried a lot of ways to do it but nothing works for my data.

As you can see in the image, the counts are inside of each bar and there are a lot of 1, I don't know why.

I want to show the count that they have in the y-axis (Frequency) in each bar. But not inside, above each bar.

Can anyone help me?

This is my code:

library(shiny)
library(ggplot2)
library(scales)

You can use this :

library(shiny)
library(ggplot2)

ui <- fluidPage(
  
  titlePanel("Histogram"),
  
  sidebarLayout(
    sidebarPanel(
    ),
    
    mainPanel(
      plotOutput("hist"),
    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {
  
  output$hist <- renderPlot(height=700,{
    ggplot(df3, aes(val, fill=type)) +
      geom_histogram(position = "identity", colour = "grey40", bins = 10) +
      ggtitle("Here must be a title") +
      xlab("Values") +
      ylab("Frequency") +
      facet_grid(type ~ .) + 
      stat_bin(bins = 10, geom="text", colour="black", size=3.5,
               aes(label=..count..), position=position_stack(vjust=1.15)) + 
      scale_x_continuous(breaks=pretty(as.matrix(df3$val), n=10)) + 
      theme(strip.text.x = element_blank(),
            strip.text.y = element_blank())
    
  })
  
} 

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

Adjust vjust position based on your preference.
