However, when I convert the epub to KFX, these tags allow for line-breaks before and after themselves sparingly. I attached a picture.
I don't know why, but Amazon's conversion to KFX inserts a zero width space before and after the quote marks generated by the <q> element, which allows a line break there. To avoid that use the left double quotation mark and right double quotation mark Unicode characters instead of <q>.

That is done by default in KFX to avoid widows and orphans, which are single lines at the top or bottom of a page. You can disable that by setting the widows:1 and orphans:1 properties in CSS. (More information in this thread.)
