Large parts of your two ligands are single coordinate (or effective
single topology if you like) and you have both appearing and
disappearing parts (softcore). So most of your molecules are present
at all times and single coordinates will distort together.
I have only checked for 20000 steps of heating and 50000 steps of
pressurising. I don't see anything that I would call distorted. One
thought: what if instead of the lib files you have created you directly
load the mol2 files instead and/or update to AmberTools16? BTW, I am
on Amber16.

I think all you need is a few tens of minimisation. When I set up the
system I had several waters <= 2A near the ligands.
