I think you need to build a new force field library for the following
molecular fragment: CO-CH2-CH2-CH2-NH
This means you could start from the following whole molecule:
MeNH-CO-CH2-CH2-CH2-NH-COMe
By applying two intra-molecular charge constaints set to zero during
the charge fitting step, you will generate the required molecular
fragment:
Whole molecule Fragment
MeNH-CO-CH2-CH2-CH2-NH-COMe --> CO-CH2-CH2-CH2-NH
<--> <-->
(1) (2)
(1) & (2): two intra-molecular charge constraints = 0
You could use the R.E.D. III.4 tools or R.E.D. Server where you first
need to prepare a P2N file for the whole molecule & then build the
force field library for the molecular fragment.

Ante_RED
- PDB file ---> P2N file
RED
- P2N file ---> Tripos mol2 (i.e. FF library)
See
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/RED/ &
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDS/
- load the mol2 file in LEaP to associate the FF libraries & the PDB
file of your cyclic peptide
