No you was right! The latch pin should be low so no data will be send to the outputs. If i put the resistor on 5v and the latch then the latch will be high, if i tie it to GND then it is low(atleast it's working if i put the resistor between latch and ground). However i'm not sure if I need to place a resistor on every latch pin or only 1 resistor from latch to ground will be good enough (notice that all the latches from the 6 registers are tied together).
