can you fit shimmano rings to a raceface crank?

Yes. Race Face cranks use a standard 4 bolt 104mm BCD as do the majority* of Shimano cranks do you should have no issues at all.

*I believe some XTR models might use a different bolt pitch but as far as I'm aware all others are ok.

The pitch may be the same but some Shimano rings have deep kinks that interfere with RF Cranks, my Turbines won't take a Shimano middle ring.
I'd stick to Blackspire etc. they're super tough and burley and nice an flat. they can usually be picked up cheaper too.

I put shimano steel middle ring on rf crank, but had to file the ends of the tabs.
