I am using GNU Emacs 27.2 with sh-script.  I am using $() to run commands from 
a bash script.  The command name gets highlighted if there are no spaces, but 
no highlighting is done if there is a preceeding space.

Actually, it was good to have highlighting of the command, even when there is a 
space between $( and the command name.
