Dear Chris,
In order to make it planar, the types of N3-N1-C7-N2, C7-H2-N2-H3 need to
have nonzero improper torsional parameters. I am not sure if antechamber
assigned the right atom types. As by looking at this structure, I would
guess that the type of N2 needs to be 'N2', but it is assigned as 'nh'
type. Good luck,
Best,
