So where does it show the terrain modifiers. Can't find in rule book. Also when do you get a river modifier. On or behind the river.

Just do a search for river in the rule book.

(Advanced Rules) Frozen River, Super
River, Canal, or Shallow Water: No effect (on movement).
Land units may move into Frozen Shallow Water
locations. Supply may be traced through Frozen
Shallow Water locations as if they were Open
terrain. If a unit is on a Frozen Shallow Water or a
Super River location when the location thaws, the
unit will automatically move to an adjacent location
if possible. If there is no adjacent location to which
the unit could be moved, it will instead evaporate
– and all equipment assigned to the unit is lost.
You need to keep an eye on your Weather Report as
Spring approaches to avoid losing units deployed
on Frozen Shallow Water or frozen Super River
locations.

11.9.4. River Movement Costs

Suez Canal) normally add 2 to the cost of entering
a location. There are exceptions, as follows:
11
Movement 77
§§ Amphibious units are exempt from River
Movement costs
§§ If the total minor ferry capability in the
location (including that of the moving unit) is
greater than 20%, the moving unit is exempt
from River Movement costs.
§§ If the total minor ferry capability in the
location (including that of the moving unit)
is greater than 10%, the River adds only one
point to the Movement Cost. Total Ferry
Strengths less than 10% have no effect on
River Movement.
