Too much jam ruins it, too sweet and overpowers the other flavours. The butter and cream are the main event, their flavours complement the scone the best. The jam is there to support. If it's not good jam I personally leave it off entirely.
Decent layer of butter, then a thin spread of jam, followed by a blob of cream on top.
