Re: two (maybe unrelated) questions

You are presumably using latex since you mention amsmath, note (although it
doesn't affect the output here) that $$ has never been supported syntax in
latex.

You should not ignore error messages

! Extra }, or forgotten $.
l.14 $${A}^{kk_{ed}}}
                     _{{jjj}^{qq}}$$
?

because you have more } than {

If you delete the spurious } in the last equation that one produces the
expected output, the third formula does not produce the output that you
show, the kk is attached to the base and appears above the subscript jj

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

$${A}^{kk_{ed}}$$

$${A}_{{jjj}^{qq}}$$

$${AA}_{jj}^{kk}$$

$${A}^{kk_{ed}}_{{jjj}^{qq}}$$

\end{document}
