I'm new to the forums and I am unsure of how to get these shapes on my screen below my dock. If anyone could help me in getting access to this.

You mean Google's Lollipop-style soft keys? If your phone uses a different style, I'd think you'd need to root it and either install a custom ROM which includes them (if one exists) or edit the relevant system app (maybe SystemUI.apk - my phone doesn't have softkeys so I don't know for sure) to replace the current softkey icons with those.

I have my device rooted and I run a custom launcher which is Apex, I would have assumed there being an option?
The launcher doesn't provide the softkeys, just the desktops and app drawer.
This would come under the general heading of "theming" the ROM. For some devices (and some ROMs) others may have done this already, so it's worth a look in your device's root forum here, or maybe over at XDA (there are often theming subforums for devices over there).

Not free but this app seems recommended by my g+ buddies https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.janis605.softkeyz
(read the description, it doesn't play well with most non aosp roms)

I like that they tell you to take a nandroid backup first in the app description 
. Always a good idea when altering system files.

I found the xposed framework which provided the option with Gravitybox. Thanks for the advice guys!

Do you have custom recovery (twrp or cwm) installed?

Not 100% sure because I had to reset my device as my Google play store app hosts file was corrupt but I think I do have a custom twrp installed.

Then boot into twrp NOW and make a full backup of the phone before you mess with Xposed anymore so you have a backup if things mess up (they can do a lot with Xposed)
Also do a Google for an "Xposed uninstaller zip" and keep that on your phone just incase
