Well, eog itself is most likely installed system-wide in /usr/bin and.
the plugins are usually installed in /usr/lib/eog/plugins
or /usr/lib64/eog/plugins. However, there's another possibility to
install the plugin avoiding the need to go to system-wide folders.

You can also install it just for you/your user. The Watermark plugin is
actually pretty simple to install that way.

1. Open a terminal and go to $HOME/.local/share
2. mkdir -p eog/plugins
3. Unzip the plugin into $HOME/.local/share/eog/plugins

That should be all.
