    The fact that Sri Radha is rarely mentioned in sastras is used as an argument by avaisnavas that She is not real. But Vaisnavas are interested in reality and so they proceed from from avidya to vidya.
    Sri Jiva Gosvami in his Sandarbhas first establishes the hierarchy of sastra pramanas. This clarifies the type of confusion you got into by your internet research which is not a Vedic method.
    Our acaryas, esp. Visvanatha Cakravarti, explain how Sri Krisna expands from the original Vrindavan form to Mathura and Dvaraka forms. The original Vrindavan Krisna's sakti is Sri Radha, the origin of all Devis (sarvAdyAyA jaganmAtuH zrIrAdhAyAH samarcanam avatArakalAnAM hi papraccha vinayAnvitaH, Narada Purana 1.88.2) who expand from Her (1.88.4-5). In His Dvaraka expansion His sakti is Sri Radha's expansion Sri Rukmini.
    In some avataras like Sri Vamana the sakti is not manifest but present on the chest in the form of Srivatsa. They are inseparable although sometimes temporarily separate for the sake of lila, like Sri Sri Padmavati-Balaji.
    Sri Caitanya reveals His Radha bhava in the last verse of Siksastaka. He also mentions Sri Radha by name in Premamrita rasayana stotra, three times.

          But shouldn't Vedas mention about all deities as they are the most authoritative scriptures and has Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ever talked about Radha Rani

          Radha Radha
