I'm sorry but this still isn't clear to me. you have many variables in your
protocol and you need to work on isolating them to determine which factor
is the cause. for example, you load many force field variations, and you
also have your own prepin and frcmod. you need to have very clear "this
works, this does not" where you have changed only 1 aspect of your
protocol.

are you saying that when you load a normal RNA with ff14SB and none of your
modified parameters, no frcmod, that you have problems with planarity? and
the same thing but with ff99bsc0 works fine? ff14SB did not change RNA
parameters, so that would be unexpected.
