You shouldn't modify any recipes to build your own custom image: this
isn't a yocto way. Usually only recipe's developers modify them. Many
packages in yocto could be configured using config file(s). When
config files are not enough for your goals, you can override/extend
recipes (or their parts) with .bbappend files. Original recipes should
be modified by you in very rare cases when your goal can't be achieved
with above steps (errors, missing functionality, etc.). Please refer
to yocto/bitbake documentation to understand their core principles.

For gstreamer's rtmp plugin yocto already have support in recipes and
all you need is just enable it in your config files as I proposed. For
example in config/local.conf in your build dir. I've checked this with
mine image and I got rtmpsink plugin built. Please, double check your
config file.

If you still unlucky, you could try to do a clean build of gstreamer's
plugins only:

   bitbake -c clean gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
   bitbake <your_image_name_here>
