You need a blank line between the LOOP section and the IMPROPER section
(that is, right here).

However, LEaP ignores any improper torsions specified in the prep files.
You should use rdparm to examine a prmtop file that contains this new residue,
to make sure that you are getting the terms you want.

This means that the sum of charges on the atoms in this unit is -27. If that
is the correct value, fine. If not, you will need to look at the charges
to try to find out where the problem is.

It's not possible through any standard user interface element. You could
hand-edit the prmtop file to make such a change: find the Lennard Jones A and
C parameters that correpond to the pair you want to change, and edit them to
whatever values you wish.
....good luck...dac
