Yes you can just make those directories. If you have libraries that
you're installing yourself, they should go there so that you can tell
the difference between libraries you've installed and libraries which
were installed by some automated process (like rpm).
One reason you're not finding the proper libraries may be that your ld
database isn't up to date. The ld database tells the system where to
find libraries, and if you have recently copied new libraries onto your
system then it might not know about them yet.
Read the ldconfig manpage, then check your /etc/ld.so.conf to make sure
that it includes the location of your new libraries, then run ldconfig
(which you'll need to do as root). If your apps don't find their
libraries then, it's probably something wrong with their own
configuration, not your system in general.
