When you want to talk about something in the past, you can use may have or might have:
A: I was suprise that Kate wasn't at the meeting yesterday.
B: She might not have known about it. (= perhaps she didn't know)
This is not 虚拟语气.

Great, I got it!
And a more question: any different between "may have" or "might have", since both of them, as you interpreted, can be used to describe sth in the past.
Thank you veryyyyyyy much!

They are exchangeable, as far as I know.
