I think that you can use the "null chord" ( <> ) wherever you want to insert markup at a particular horizontal place in the score.
You might still have to tweak the horizontal placement--I'm not sure if you intend that the marking at the end of the rest is right-justified with the end of the barline.

How about a short example? I'll bet you can use the same approach.
