This procedure is rather vague: In general the monomers are capped and
from capped monomers molecular fragments are generated. Then FF
libraries generated for these FF fragments are associated in the LEaP
program to match the structure of the polymer provided to the PDB file
format.

Which tool did you use to do that? Doing that manually is quite error-prone...

What do you want to edit the charges? in general the charges are
available in a force field library that is loaded in LEaP; so no need
to 'edit' the charges. You just need to load the FF library
(mol2/mol3, off or prep file format) generated by the tool you used.

A FF lib has to contain the hydrogen atoms; on the contrary the
hydrogens do not need to be present in the PDB (polymer) file; they
will be automatically added by LEaP if a match is found between each
residue in the PDB file and the FF libs.
