In this manuscript, we investigate the enhancement of the transfer of quantum correlations from squeezed light to movable mirrors within an optomechanical system. This enhancement was achieved via the injection of squeezed light in the cavities and via intracavity squeezed light. We quantify the entanglement between mechanical oscillators via logarithmic negativity. We demonstrate that entanglement is influenced by various factors, including the gain of the parametric amplifier, the squeezing parameter characterizing the squeezed light, the rate of the phonon tunneling process, the coupling strength of the photon hopping process and the bath temperature of the mechanical oscillators. We have shown that entanglement can be improved by a convenient choice of coupling strength in the case of the photon hopping process, as well as for specified values of the gain of the parametric amplifier.
