Explanation

Past perfect tense to be used. If the Past Perfect action did occur at a specific time, the Simple Past can be used instead of the Past Perfect when "before" or "after" is used in the sentence. When it is not referring to an action at a specific time, Past Perfect is not optional. Hence, here past perfect has to be used.
