I think that because of the combination of symbols, I would use \markup 
instead.

\version "2.24.0"

\score {
   \new Staff {
     \relative c'' {
       c8\( b a g8 ~ g8\)^\markup { O \musicglyph "scripts.rcomma" } 
\acciaccatura { a'8^( } g fis) d
     }
   }
}

It is definitely not ideal, as you'd need to raise the comma a bit 
still, and you might need to create a bit of space, but it keeps the 
attachment to the notes they belong to. You can then use the markup 
positioning to get things into the right place.

cheers
