Views Data Export print feed icon in template file
Solution from: https://www.drupal.org/node/2117433#comment-9422881


Copy the views-view.tpl.php file from views into your theme (or its
templates directory if it has one). Note that you can rename the
file in certain ways to make it specific to an individual view or
display. The "Theme: Information" section of the views UI will give
you more information. Also see the blog post for more information on
that.
Clear the cache so the site starts using your new template file
instead of the default views one. The "Theme: Information" part of
the views UI should now indicate that your file is being used.
In your theme's version of the template file move the feed icon
section wherever you want it. Potentially you would put it under the
exposed filters or something. Currently the the feed icon part of
the template looks like this (move this whole section):



    &lt;?php if ($feed_icon): ?&gt;
      &lt;div class="feed-icon"&gt;
        &lt;?php print $feed_icon; ?&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;?php endif; ?&gt;
