So i've check up on my ssd space recently and i've noticed that i only have 56.2 GB left from a 120 GB ssd

What i have done:
Checked my google chrome to make sure its saved on my hdd drive
made sure my disk space usage is 5%

so after i install a program i pick my HDD program files to install to but for some reason it always uses like 1-2 Gigs from my SSD...

Depends on the program. Some programs install stuff to the ProgramData File and other stuff in the User folder if it is still on the SSD (And not just redirecting the Documents, music, etc does not move ALL your files) and sometimes it will need to do that. The other thing is program will sometimes extract files to the Temp Folder. Run a disk cleanup as well or use CCleaner to cleanup temp files.
