Welcome to SO! It would be easier to help you if you provide [a minimal reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example) including a snippet of your data or some fake data. — stefan, Aug 14 '22 at 20:51

Instead of using geom_histogram you could go on with geom_bar. To add your labels use geom_text with stat="count".

Using mtcars as example data:

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=cyl)) + 
  geom_bar() +
  geom_text(aes(label=..count..), stat = "count", vjust=-1.5)
