Are you sure this is a problem? Remember that no part of the protein is
going outside the solvent: the C-terminal tail is just sticking into the
adjacent unit cell. You might want to use VMD to visualize neighboring cells,
to see if you are getting any protein-protein interactions between images that
you don't want. One explanation for what you describe is that your solvent
box is rather small, so that it is hard to a single unit cell in which all
of the protein appears to "fit" inside the solvent.
