I think you will find the answer there:

I would 1st run the job without intramolecular charge constraint and then with
intramolecular charge constraints. Then, compare the two RRMS values of the 2
jobs. Does the RRMS increase a lot by adding this/these intramolecular charge
constraint(s) ? If yes, this means that your choice of intramolecular charge
constraint/groupement is wrong.
