Modal Verbs in Past Perfect
Can we really use modal verbs like "Should" in Past Perfect Form?
Illustration :
Present : I should eat that cake
Past : I should have eaten that cake
Past Perfect : ???
Is there a chance to include the "Should" word into Past Perfect ?

samuraibabesI was hoping there would be the form I'd been trying to knowNo. There is no such form. Only the two discussed above in another post.
Most students wish there were fewer forms to learn in English. I'm surprised you were hoping for more!
