Where to set the risk

As long as you are able to define a sort-able value for the risk as a custom field in either cover-able issues (e.g. "requirements"/stories) or Test themselves, then you will be able to select and rank Tests for execution, based on risk level. If you have identified global risks at project level as issues, and those risks can be mitigated somehow by testing, then you can also use RBT with them.

...

If you have multiple Test Plans, and since they're issues, you may priorize them in the current Sprint or Kanban boards. You can also "label" these Test Plans somehow to distinguish their relative relevance; you may use Jira's native Priority field for this as it comes by default and fulfills this purpose.

In order to start with RBT, you have to configure the risk management related fields. You may use Jira built-in capabilities or use a risk management or even a customization app instead.
