In general the standard will be to have the icon/button follow the field like so:
I am wondering where the placement should be for radio buttons? The more information/help will be referencing the radio set as a whole.

What we decided on was to just use a combo box if it is an enum. Since it is our practice to only use the more information when it is absolutely needed. Therefore it should be pretty rare for them to show up, but IF it is needed and it is an enum just use the combo box control to avoid all confusion.

There is a difference in the understanding at the level of the concept (label) vs. the available choices. You may need a couple of patterns for flexibility.
If you are trying to impart understanding regarding the label and it's choices, you can put the i close to the label, and give some info on hover, with some links to documentation for further understanding if need be.
Think of scale and complexity, and have a resilient system.
I realize I'm not giving a straightforward 'Do it this way!', but providing a way of thinking of prioritized contexts, so you have some flexibility. Here's a couple of situations I've seen come up.
Unfamiliar label, few choices that can be somewhat familiar:
Unfamiliar label, many choices, some complex:

Why? The wrist tends to the right so, It will be easier for the user to click and it doesnt break the layout of the questions.
Radio buttons works best if they are vertically align because the eye can scan from top to bottom than going from left to right, going down and to the left and continuing scanning.
BUT, after testing it, if the user is prompt to check the info tooltip, use it at left, aligned to the radio buttons. You can see the mouse movement in each case.
You can read more about the Fitt's Law here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law.
if you use a grid for the label and the radio buttons, the user will learn the pattern and complete the form asap.
In my opinion, it depends about the frequency of tooltip use. If the user are going to use this information frequently, left, if not, right.

After radio options on the top.
Given your additional context that you can't stack label and options, I think this would be ideal in context of other inputs. Users would be used to seeing it there.
It would be more consistent than vertical centering.

Hmm, this does not answer a question reads: "Placement of More Information/Help Icon button for RADIO BUTTONS". You are changing the controller completely although you earlier mentioned that you cannot make the change on the Radio buttons structure and you are limited. What confuses me though is do you want the info icon to provide help for the Label or the radio button options? or both? Your design (combo-box) provides help for the radio button options.

After radio options on the top.
Given your additional context that you can't stack label and options, I think this would be ideal in context of other inputs. Users would be used to seeing it there.
It would be more consistent than vertical centering.

@Mo'ath See the original screenshot. The third element in the screenshot. "After radio options on the top." which you'll see is visually similar to the existing options.

What we decided on was to just use a combo box if it is an enum. Since it is our practice to only use the more information when it is absolutely needed. Therefore it should be pretty rare for them to show up, but IF it is needed and it is an enum just use the combo box control to avoid all confusion.

Hmm, this does not answer a question reads: "Placement of More Information/Help Icon button for RADIO BUTTONS". You are changing the controller completely although you earlier mentioned that you cannot make the change on the Radio buttons structure and you are limited. What confuses me though is do you want the info icon to provide help for the Label or the radio button options? or both? Your design (combo-box) provides help for the radio button options.
