That looks like it does not use the program, but the python module
directly. You could try if symlinking
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/yt_dlp to
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/youtube_dl helps. Replace python3.9
with your version of course.
If that works, please file a bug on bugs.gentoo.org.

yt-dlp already installs a wrapper script in /usr/bin/youtube-dl.
