So, sander thinks the torsion is way different from what cpptraj thinks it is.
I would suggest loading the initial structure into a visualization program
and see what the angle *really* is.  Then you'll know which program is getting
it wrong, and can work on debugging from there, e.g. checking that the
atom numbers are really 53,3,4 and 34, etc. (if sander seems wrong), or
double-checking your atom expressions (if cpptraj seems wrong).
