Must Not Have.......

I wanted to say: We must not have noticed that Lilia came home last night. I was unsure how to say it, so I didn't

But now that I have had time to think about it, I'm still not totally sure. Are either of these correct?

No nos debemos haber dado cuenta que Lilia volvió a casa anoche.

No nos habremos dado cuenta que Lilia volvió a casa anoche.


The first sentence comes to mind because it is closer to a word-for-word translation, but I THINK I have seen the second construct to mean "must not have," but I'm unsure, so any input with explanations is appreciated.
