Indeed; the RedHat packages seem to use a completely different file system layout to the community packages, so many if not most community packages are unlikely to work even if force-installed. >> How can we install any high availability solution like repmgr for Red Hat >> provided PostgreSQL? > > That is probably some you will have to discuss with RH. Other possibilities would be: a) compile the package from source (not an efficient method of deployment, not desirable to do on production machines and often not possible), b) create your own RPMs compatible with the RedHat ones (community spec files are available here: https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgrpms.git ), or c) persuade your client to switch to a support provider who provides support based around community packages (there are a number, including the one mentioned in my email signature).
