[AMBER] Incorrect ligand parameterization using GAFF

Dear Amber users,

I'm trying to do ligand parameterization of a ligand of interest. I've done geometry optimization and RESP charge derivation using Gaussian 6-31G*, and parameters were derived using GAFF. However in the simulations this ligand is more flexible than expected, and even displays rotation of a double bond (between C1 and C2), going from a trans to cis conformation. The mol2 file generated is below.

 I'm thinking that the parameterization wasn't done properly, but the carbons involved in the double bond were correctly assigned as sp2. Does anyone have any input on what could be causing this pronounced flexibility and how I can fix this? Maybe the parameters for the dihedrals were not assigned correctly?
