Ok thank you so much all , and as well I did change the modeller model of which had better loops not overlapping that much , and I Understood now that the protonation process itself yielded for me hydrogens in non favorable stances and that's why I am having these warnings, but to be sure could minimization be quite effective to sort it out like in docking prep for example ? excuse me for such question as I am new and learning still.

I also try a first minimization with electrostatics turned off; if
there are overlapping atoms of opposite charge, charge wins over vdw and
the opposite charges may/will collapse leading to failure.
