Those apps that you are looking for are still in your iPhone. This is the reason why it only allows you to OPEN the app from the App Store app.
Those two apps were probably accidentally removed from the Home Screen, however, those apps still exist in the App Library. The App Library is the last Home Screen on your iPhone when you continue to SWIPE LEFT until you reach it. Once you are in the App Library, then you can search and find those two apps. Once found, then you can DRAG each app out of there and place them on your favorite spot of the Home Screen.
