that must be annoying, and obviously you can't get tech support from amazon for fixin the google apps.
my install - to a 4th Gen HDX is still all good. i did it primarily to have synced chrome bookmarks across all my devices, but I do still see updates from play store for stuff amazon do not support - like The Guardian newspaper app.
there are probably techie sites that can explain why yours is failing e.g. the site which gave you the install instructions ? From my (admittedly limited) knowledge of android there is no way that the amazon OS can run a targeted vendetta against play store. and your fire HD 6 OS version should be no different to that on a Fire HD 7 or 8 or 8.9 ?
play store is just another side loaded app, wiht a dependency on the other sideloads of google services framework and google account manager If your play store app bugs out , do other google apps like chrome still work, or not, or have you have enough already ? does apps - settings - force stop - clear cache.... help with resetting the relevant apps
