This looks like your pdb file doesn't have residue numbers, or doesn't
have them in the correct column.

This indicates that LEaP did not see the "RG" residue name (for some
reason...it seems to have done that in the earlier run), so it is
thinking that "G" means "DG".

Of course, LEaP is now confused, since there should be no O2' atom in an
RNA residue.

The phosphate oxygens are mislabelled in your pdb file. The
IUPAC/PDB/Amber standard is O1P,O2P, but you pdb file appears to have
OP1, OP2.
If you are not experienced with Amber, I recommend you start with
something a lot simpler than a giant 915-residue protein/RNA complex.
Work first with just a piece of RNA by itself, maybe a small protein by
itself. Once you have some experience under your belt, you will be
better able to tackle this very large system. Remember that you will
have to learn to read error messages and debug things on your own, if
you hope to make any real progress.
