Perhaps you want to remove the parenthes-syntax of "(" and ")" (and
maybe brackets too), so that only braces will ever participate in
matching, e.g.:

   (defvar my-wacky-syntax-table
     (let ((table (make-syntax-table)))
       (modify-syntax-entry ?( "." table)
       (modify-syntax-entry ?) "." table)
       (modify-syntax-entry ?[ "." table)
       (modify-syntax-entry ?] "." table)
       table))

   ;; ... later, in mode init function:
   (set-syntax-table my-wacky-syntax-table)
