Hello,

long time ago we did this for VMware Tools and CentOS/RHEL 5. Basically,
you need to extract the vmlinuz using gzip/cpio, add the necessary
information and pack again. If you search for something like 'adding
VMware Tools to RHEL 5' you should get a quite descriptive result...

If worked for RHEL5/6, so it will work for 7 as well.
