headline tags does not matterGoogle: RSS feeds don't help your site rank better
Google:
avoid non-head HTML tags in head section of pages
While for many sites, this won’t cause major issues, there are some niche technical cases where this could become a more significant issue, as John Mueller points out. One example he refers to is Hreflang tags placed in the head, but after non-head HTML, will cause those hreflang annotations to be ignored. This is because Google views the HTML and cuts off the </head> where that code appears."
