Then what is the appropriate way to ensure that these modules are loaded?
Should they be placed in the /etc/init.d/iptables script?
IPTABLES_MODULES="iptable_nat ip_nat_ftp ip_conntrack ip_conntrack_ftp"
or somewhere else?
Thanks

It should do it automatically for you. Try it. Editing system init scripts is
rarely recommended.
It worked.
There are a lot of website guides to Linux homenetworking, some going back
as far as tldp days (late 1990s, early 2000s). Understandably, there is no
one that presents itself as being authoritative.
Rebuilding a CentOS box is an occasional endeavour, not a weekly one. So
the reliance is on the informational sources that are there (some of which
do recommend hacking rc.local or /etc/init.d/iptables), memory, and
trial-and-error (typos and misspecified NICs can become time-sinks).
