If your RDLs hurt your back that bad then you’re probably getting in extension in the lumbar spine. If you can maintain a neutral spine and shove your hips back, allowing your knees to bend but not allowing them to move forward so you have to allow your chest go down more. It sounds like you’re pretty flared up so I would wait til your symptoms get a little better. The upper glute is all you need unless it’s in your hamstring too but the mid glute can get really irritated especially since the piriformis is right there
