This isn't really an answer to you problem, but a couple of comments
from an outsider--I hope the lipid experts on this list will chime in with
corrections or suggestions:

1. Should the CHARMM-GUI not create Amber files itself? That is, what
is the need for charmmlipid2amber any more? (The lipid14 tutorial on
the web page is by now 5 years old....)

2. The AMBAT or packmol_memgen routines (the latter significantly
updated in AmberTools19, just released) provides alternative
Amber-centric methods for creating these systems. See Sections 12.6 and
12.7 in the Amber 2019 Reference Manual. That said, tutorials or
expanded explanations would be most helpful here.

3. Someone with lipid experience might try to answer the original
question.
