The original parts of the anime aren't canon so it shouldn't be used for comparison. In the manga, Cochlea is said to have different floors, each for a specific rating of ghoul, so Shachi came from the SS layer.

SS~ is more fitting, but I personally wouldn't use the addition of the "~" to describe a ghouls power. I would simply define Shachi's power as high SS tier.

We also don't know where the boundary lies between the SS and SSS ratings as of yet, hopefully once we're introduced to more SSS rated ghouls, it will become clearer.
