Solution

  • Subscripts and superscripts are aligned to the left.

    If centering them is enough for you, then you can use smallmatrix:

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.4/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML"></script>
    $$
    \begin{smallmatrix}
      112 \\
      4
    \end{smallmatrix}
    \mathrm{Ra}
    $$

    But if you want them aligned to the right, I think your only option is using array, but then the numbers appear too separated.

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.4/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML"></script>
    $$
    {
      \scriptsize
      \begin{array}{r}
        112 \\
        4
      \end{array}
    }
    \mathrm{Ra}
    $$
