Instead of this:
<a4 c> ~

Type this:
<a c>4~

Instead of this:
<a2. c>

Type this:
<a c>2.

The duration of all the notes of the chord (within the same voice on the
staff), are the same, so it is not merely an arbitrary convention but
logical that the duration would be placed following the chord as a
whole, not after a particular note *within* the chord.
