No, unfortunately, your itinerary is not eligible for 240 hour visa free transit. The basic rule of 240 hour visa free transit requires that the immediate points before and after mainland China are located in two different countries or eligible territories (eligible territories are Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau). As you can see, you have your both immediate points in just one eligible territory - Hong Kong.
In order to make your itinerary eligible, you should insert another country or eligible territory within your itinerary. Usually I suggest using Macau that is located quite close to Hong Kong. Like this you can make your itinerary to look like:
US - Hong Kong - Macau (you can easily reach it from Hong Kong by fast ferries or by bus) - Shanghai - Hong Kong - US
As you can see, your possible itinerary has its immediate points, before and after mainland China in two eligible territories, Macau and Hong Kong. Hope you will be able to insert this correction into your itinerary in order to make you eligible for 240 hour visa free transit. Have a nice visit to China.
