I am not an expert in Ranger, but as long as Ranger uses HMS public APIs it should work. Some of the HMS APIs (get_partitions_by_expr) may not work if you don't have hive jars in the metastore classpath. However, this API is only used by Hive so I don't think that could be the cause of your issue. Also, ACID tables have some limitations in standalone mode.
One way to debug further would be to run a different client to connect to HMS and see if it is able to connect. Also check if it works in a non-secure setup (to rule out if the issue is related to Kerberos).
