The targetPackageRoot is incorrect. You are trying to target library scripts, but the targetPackageRoot is actually meant to target the actual web scripts that render a particular page.

Also, you cannot override a function (getShareServices) using the "customization" approach. The original code will already have been run by the point your code is called. Your customisation is supposed to act like a post-processor and modify the result of the original code (in the web script model).

I have achived same goal as below:

1) Extention model.

<extension>
<modules>
<module>
<id>Add custom menu item to header</id>
<version>1.0</version>
<auto-deploy>true</auto-deploy>
<customizations>
<customization>
<targetPackageRoot>org.alfresco.share.header</targetPackageRoot>
<sourcePackageRoot>org.alfresco.share.imports</sourcePackageRoot>
</customization>
</customizations>
</module>
</modules>
</extension>

2) You can override your getShareServices() by updating in the share-header.lib.js

3) Place your updated share-header.lib.js in same folder where share-header.get.js and update path like this where your share-header.lib.js reside in the share-header.get.js
