When you build OpenSSL and your program, use an RPATH. Also see
https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Compilation_and_Installation#Using_RPATHs
.

We still don't know what use case is being represented by omitting the
RPATH in the OpenSSL build. Building OpenSSL with new library, but
runtime link to old library after installation makes no sense to most
users.

You can probably do it using LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but RPATHs are easier.
