All we know is that it happened few years ago. My suggestion is to put it during the fall of SHIELD. If it happened late 2013 SHIELD would hear about a guy with a flaming skull burning people just like they heard for all of those powered people in Season 1 which is mostly set late 2013. If they investigated smaller events like cleaning after Thor and a floating fireman boy scout they would hear about Ghost Rider.

I know that Ghost Rider wasn't really thought about until Season 4 but it would be a great "in universe" explanation why SHIELD didn't investigate him. They didn't because they were fighting themselves (HYDRA) and didn't have time to investigate "strange" events
