As Scrutinizer said, the best thing you can do is do a fresh install.
If you are hell bent on doing it the hard way, if you install the rpmdb-redhat rpm package before installing manually any additional packages that have lots of dependencies, you can use the --aid option of the rpm command to resolve dependencies automatically. See
rpmdb-redhat

Takes given SCAP input(s) and makes an RPM package that contains them. The result RPM can be installed using # yum install ./pack-
age-name-1-1.rpm which will put the contents into /usr/share/xml/scap. No dependency on openscap or scapworkbench is enforced in the output
package so you can use any SCAP-capable scanner to evaluate the content.

FILE List of files that should be put into the result package. These should be SCAP XML files but such requirement is not enforced.
optional arguments:
-h, --help
