It may help if you try to compare the smell to something others might be able to relate to. Saying " it smells " is like me going to the doctor and saying " it hurts, please fix ", but not telling him where it hurts, or what the pain feels like.

Take a look under the truck and make sure the body plug in that storage well is in place. You might want to check the liner in that storage well, too, to make sure it isn't wet.

The DEF tank itself is just forward of the fuel tank on the driver's side, your practically sitting above it in the driver's seat.
It could be an problem with the DEF injection into the SCR but you would smell it in more than just the rear passenger side seat area along with outside the vehicle too.
If it smells sort of like melting/burning candle wax, it's possible your smelling the truck doing a regen. Keep in mind the DPF gets to about 1000° - 1200° when a regen happens. The DPF and SCR are located directly under the passenger side seats.
