At RCPT TO you don't yet have any headers.... Prior to DATA, all an smtp session has is a 'negotiation' situation. Your MTA and the distant sender are introducing themselves, exchanging credentials, describing what is available and what is wanted (connect, helo, mail_from, rcpt_to). Ever see two dogs meeting for the first time? Much the same. You can *prepare* headers to be substituted or appended later, and can set flags to cause whatever you have prepped to be actioned. Or NOT. But DATA is the earliest you are transferred the message and its headers and attachments (if any). That said, a flag, value, or string carried in an acl_m variable might serve you better than header alteration.
