Hello;

Should is used to give an advice and if you want to use it with the verb have
You must follow this form :
SHOULD + have + past participle
You should have studied
He should have written to me
I should have listened to my teacher
So should + had is not the correct form
Good luck

Hello,

I do, as well as I'm studying some particular content so, if I search more for just one sentence,it becomes a little lengthy for me and then I couldn't can't study more in a day.
Thank you..
