Use extra-offset.

\version "2.24.0"

\language "english"
\relative {
   \clef bass
   \key a \major
   <
     \tweak Accidental.extra-offset #'(-0.35 . 0) f,
     \tweak Accidental.extra-offset #'(0.9 . 0) c'
     a' f'> s4*3
}


If you prefer the values to be relative to the note head (instead of
relative to the default position), you have to put

\once \override Staff.AccidentalPlacement.positioning-done = ##t

before the chord (but then you need to place *all* the accidentals in
the chord manually).
