I am unfortunately stuck on TeamCity 9 but want to use C# 7 language features. This requires me to have the VS2017 tools available, but in TC 9 you can only select up to 2015. I have manually installed the VS2017 toolkit on the build server and it is all available in 

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\15.0

However in TC, the highest VS you can select to build with is 2015, which points to 

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0

I want some way to override this so that by selecting VS2015 in TeamCity, it will actually be pointing to MsBuild in 

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\15.0

Is this possible?

Check you agent properties in TeamCity web interface. Search for your path: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0 and write somewhere all keys that have this path in it.

Then go to your agent installation directory and edit file: C:\Path\To\BuildAgent\conf\buildAgent.properties

Add all those keys with new path, something like (assuming you key is MSBuildTools14.0_x86_Path):

MSBuildTools14.0_x86_Path=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MSBuild\\15.0

(keep in mind escaping slash \\)

Restart your agent, and check again build agent properties. All paths should be replaced and you should be good to go.
