If you have a net charge, you need to use the "-nc" flag in antechamber.

However, since you have 210 electrons in a neutral system, you would have 209
electrons with a +1 charge. But antechamber can only handle closed shell
systems with an even number of electrons.

Your SAM structure appears to be missing a proton at the O3' position.
