This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Aphelios.

Is Jax better when played alongside Aphelios?

There is no one best companion for Jax that will always be his ideal ally. Yet, overall, Aphelios is a relatively poor companion for Jax. By playing on the same side as Jax, he lowers their win rate by -1.5% to 49.3%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad synergy between Jax and Aphelios that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Aphelios has a much greater difficulty compared to Jax. That means you must be careful when enlisting Aphelios allies to play with, as they will need a much higher level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Fighting alongside, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by aligning Jax and Aphelios together, you may not be providing your team a lot of cover. Make sure to include other champs on your team that neutralizes this disparity in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Aphelios ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
