OK, so you have a custom tor binary, assuming that your code compiled.
As Georg said, you just replace the tor binary in the browser bundle
with your custom tor binary. In tor-browser-linux64-7.5.5_en-US, that
would be /tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/tor.

However, even if you get that far, there's no guarantee that it'll work.
There are features in the Tor network to protect against attacks, and
your changes might trigger them.
