Short answer is you cannot use a mod_wsgi.so from a yum package against anything but the binary distribution of Apache it was built for. You cannot use it with a separate Apache you compiled from source code as how it was built would likely be incompatible.
I can only recommend you start out with the pip method for installation as described in the issue at: * https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi <https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi> as the easiest way to move forward. If you cannot get that working as I described such that 'mod_wsgi-express start-server' does something, you need to provide the details of what errors you are getting and what you were doing at that point. I can't guess why you can't install it without seeing the errors. Also use either the mailing list or the issue, and not both.
