It seems like confusing LV with PV. An *LVM group* presents itself to 
the block devices that contains it as a *physical volume* (PV), in turn, 
LVM provides *logical volumes* (LV) over which you may place 
filesystems. Don't confuse those 3 concepts. If you want to make a 
partition outside LVM, you would have to reduce the LVM physical volume, 
not the LVM logical volume (which you already did).

If you already reduced the filesystem and the logical volume, then there 
is free space within your LVM volume group; there may be no "free space 
in the SSD" (space not assigned to any partition or the MBR), but that 
is how it is supposed to be. The reason to use LVM is to put filesystems 
in logical volumes within your volume group to get the benefits of 
logical volume management, not as partitions outside your volume group, 
because you lose those benefits.

You can create logical volumes with "lvcreate". Read the manual!

   man lvm
