you are using six data line you can use only 3 data line this will make simple

Can you explain how? The first 595 is used to send data to the SSD data line and the 2nd 595 is used for turning ON/OFF SSDs.

You mean like this?

If SH_CP and ST_CP, DS are made common then both display data and enable/disable data has to be sent as 16 bits with 595 cascaded. First 8 bits SSD data + 8 bits SSD ON data is sent next time 8 bits SSD data (all 0s) + 8 bits SSD OFF data is sent and finally stored.
