You can modify the page with js, just use the execute_script function of your web driver in Selenium, modifying the DOM to insert whatever you want wherever you want in JS:

js = """var node = document.createElement("div");
var textnode = document.createTextNode("Example");
node.appendChild(textnode);
document.getElementById("someIDOnPage").appendChild(node);  
"""
driver.execute_script(js)
