I'm rather new at this accenting characters in linux, but I find that
with right-Alt set as my composing key, selecting the RAlt-shift-Tilde
and releasing them then typing the character I want accented (A in your
case) works just fine, as does substituting double-quote for the Tilde
to produce umlaut (Ö) or comma to get a cedilia ç. there are many others
you can have fun experimenting!

I don't get that on my KDE GB keyboard layout. I get "ă". But, Right alt +
the right square bracket key gives me a dead key for the "~", then releasing
the keys and pressing "a", gives me "ã".
Out of interest, which language uses a "ã"? I've seen the "ñ" in
spanish.
