Hi, In both of your examples, I see no reason to use Past Perfect. I'd just use Simple Past. If you have typed them correctly, other parts of the wording suggest to me that these sentences were not written by native speakers.

If it's simple past, you don't need to use "have" in front of the simple past tense. "I shouldn't ate it." "I shouldn't have eaten it." is correct.

I shouldn't have ate it. Or I shouldn't have eaten it. What's the difference? The second sentence is present perfect so is the first sentence simple past tense?
