I ran my engine and checked my oil and it was max. I put it in drive and drove it around a little and my oil pressure guage was flickering lower. Could someone please tell me what that might be?

Most likely a bad sender, but check oil pressure with mechanical gauge to be safe.
If mechanical pressure is OK, then replace electrical oil pressure sender.

If not OK, then oil pump, clogged galley. DO NOT DRIVE CAR WITH LOW OIL PRESSURE VERIFIED BY MACHANICAL GAUGE.
