\prescript from mathtools seems to work well. It'd be great if leftside
prescripts were supported directly by Lyx.

Just type them the same way you would super scripts in LyX. If you
wanted 5 to the power of two it would be 5^2 if you wanted a 2 as a
prescript then ^2 5 or use the underscore for subscripts.That's what
works for me.
That's not a good solution because the spacing is wrong. Compare:
\begin_body
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula
\[
f\times^{5}g^{4}\neq f\times\prescript{5}{} g^{4}
\]
\end_inset
\end_layout
\end_body
