You are correct: GAFF does its best to create a reasonable force field, but
its parameters should be considered as a first guess. If your ligand is
distorting abnormally, you may well need to examine the bad configurations by
hand and try to fix parameters to get better results. Without knowing the
nature of the distortions you are seeing, it is hard to say anything more
specific.
