To be clear it is pg_hint_plan not pg_hint_tables?

Did you do?:
"
Loading pg_hint_plan
pg_hint_plan does not require CREATE EXTENSION. Loading it with a LOAD
command will activate it and of course you can load it globally by
setting shared_preload_libraries in postgresql.conf. Or you might be
interested in ALTER USER SET/ALTER DATABASE SET for automatic loading in
specific sessions.
postgres=# LOAD 'pg_hint_plan';
LOAD
