You actually have to create two new residue templates with different names
that have the fragments you want. Then you have to change the PDB file so
each residue will have the appropriate name (and different residue numbers
from one another).

This will be more complicated than the current approach you used since the
two residues will need connectivity information (one residue will need a
HEAD atom and the other will need a TAIL).
