How to Compare 2 fields from 2 sourcetypes and remove events that are the same and only in the second sourcetype

I have 2 Sourcetypes A and B with 2 important Fields SSN and Number. I want to compare all of the SSN and number's from Sourcetype A to Sourcetype B I then return Results that only show up in Sourcetype B

Sourcetype A
SSN number

1111 12345 (drop this because it matches B)
2222 12345 (drop this because it is sourcetype A even though it doesn't match)

Sourcetype B
SSN number

1111 12345 (drop this because it matches A)
2222 11111 (keep this because it doesn't match anything in A and it is Sourcetype B)

I am really stuck on this one not even sure where to start.

Try like this

sourcetype=SourcetypeA OR sourcetype=sourcetypeB
| stats values(sourcetype) as sourcetypes by SSN number
| where mvcount(sourcetypes)=1 AND sourcetype="sourcetypeB"
