Solution:
Online and offline commands must be execute from the same container in which datafile resides as v$datafile and dba_data_files only have the entries of the datafiles belonging to that container.
 

1. Connect to the PDB in question and bring the datafile offline
2. Uncheck the option to Switch tablespace for restore
3. run the restore
4. Bring datafile online after the restore
