The Kali repos don't have simplescreenrecorder, their documentation recommends you use something else.
https://www.kali.org/tools/recordmydesktop, or you an install the Snap.

Install simplescreenrecorder on Linux | Snap Store

Get the latest version of simplescreenrecorder for Linux - ssr

snapcraft.io

And if you don't want to use that you can just compile it yourself.

GitHub - MaartenBaert/ssr: SimpleScreenRecorder, a screen recorder for Linux

SimpleScreenRecorder, a screen recorder for Linux. Contribute to MaartenBaert/ssr development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Or the last option would be to add the Debian repos since it is available in there, but that's not really recommended since it might break your install.

I have some advice for you - ditch Kali for now. Go to Linux Mint and install it. You will find it easier to get your feet wet in Linux rather than drowning in Kali with frustration.

I get this one every now and then, it tends to mean "this repository is no longer available" IMO

or, it means you misspelled the package name...

In Linux Mint Software Manager...here it is...

Just install it...easy.
