According to me, the correct sentence is,
"I had hoped to meet him yesterday to discuss the matter but could not meet him as he wasn't at home".
"I had hoped to meet him yesterday to discuss the matter but could not meet him as he wasn't at home".

There are two actions happening in past first action is "hope to meet"and second action is "was not in home". The action which finishes first follow past perfect.

It only I hoped because time marker yesterday is used which only used in simple past tense.
