Have you checked the App Library? Go to the App Library (swipe left past your last Home Screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it to the Home Screen.


Also note that there is an option in Settings > Home Screen & App Library where you can specify that app downloads go to the Home Screen or only to the App Library.
