how much do the titled differences affect the meaning? I'd say they all mean, for example, He was supposed to (do/be etc). Do the different forms provide any shade of meaning? Is the subjunctive one only used if you say 'no se suponía...'?
Gracias.

5Can you give example sentences of the structures you want to know about? Both "Tenía que", and the past subjunctive can be used with several meanings.– wimiFeb 13, 2021 at 22:24

Some examples:
- He was supposed to get here with Alan and they should have been here ages ago./Se suponía que iba a llegar con Alan y bueno debería estar acá hace rato./Se suponía que tenía que llegar con Alan y bueno ya debería estar acá hace rato.
- Weren't we supposed to meet in a couple of days?/No se suponía que nos íbamos a ver en unos días más?/No se suponía que teníamos que vernos en unos días más?
