This happens because you are using Amber protein FF atom types (all
upper-case) in your protein, GAFF atom types (all lower-case) in your
ligand, and they are covalently bound; neither FF has these 'mixed'
terms. You could try and force the ligand atom types to be Amber atom
types (-at amber) and see if that helps; however, probably your best
bet will be to try and assign these parameters by analogy, i.e. you
will have to look in gaff.dat and for example find the 'c - n' bond
parameter and create a frcmod file using that parameter as 'c - N',
etc.

Note that this kind of parameterization is advanced, and you should
make sure that when assigning parameters this way that you understand
and can explicitly justify how/why.

Good luck,
