Like some of the listers pointed out, since you are using all AND's in your qualification, it doesn't matter where you put the parenthesis..
But in case you genuinely have an issue where the system puts its own parenthesis, where it shouldn't though I can't really think of any condition where you might encounter this, the use of the EXTERNAL keyword and embedding a qualification in it, will resolve your problem as the ARS would not automatically put its parenthesis in a value saved in a field so it will be thrown directly to the server at the time the server has to parse it without it being modified.. Hope that helps..
