            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "/bbr-category-configuration",
                data: "category_data",
                dataType: "json",
                success: function (response){
                    console.log(response);
                }
            });

im testing out my ajax form in a console.log

it says 404 not found but I thought alright sure, I missed the full path so I added:

url: "clinical/bbr-category-configuration",

This time, the path goes through my clinical folder twice as seen in the next screenshot

How is this happening? (the directory getting added twice)

What you are defining are absolute and relative path of the url.

In JS or html file, if you redirect/request to any url with the /urlPath then your redirect/request will be from the base url(http://example.com/urlPath) onwards.

You can see this behaviour with simple anchor element. Just put these in the html file and you will see the result

<a href="clinical/bbr-category-configuration">Redirects from the current path</a>

<a href="/clinical/bbr-category-configuration">Redirects from the base url path</a>

The above clinical/bbr-category-configuration will redirect/request from your current url. if you are on https://example.com/url/url2 then you will go to https://example.com/url/clinical/bbr-category-configuration

So In your case you should use /clinical/bbr-category-configuration as mentioned by @Aless55
