No, don't put them anywhere under $VIMRUNTIME. $VIMRUNTIME should contain only files provided by the Vim distribution itself. If you want to add files that are available to all users, put them in $VIM/vimfiles/after/syntax. If you those files available only to you, put them in $HOME/.vim/after/syntax or $HOME/vimfiles/after/syntax, depending on whether you're on a Unix or Windows system.
