Depends on how big the conformational change is upon phosphorylation. You can
have LEaP just build the phosphate groups in a simple fashion onto the
unphosphorylated side chains, and hope that minimization and MD will lead to a
reasonable structure. But larger conformational changes will probably not be
achieved by this, and you will need to use other tools (homology modeling
programs, Rosetta, etc.). Amber does not have tools to predict protein
structures from sequence.

You should source leaprc.phosaa10 to load the libraries for phosphorylated
amino acids. You should check that the atom and residue names in your PDB
file match those in the libraries. (We try to follow PDB nomenclature, but
the protein data bank doesn't distinguish between the -1 and -2 protonation
states.)
