If you add

  discard_psi_phi=False

to the phenix.refine command line the psi and phi dihedral angles
are restraint according to the CCP4 monomer library definitions
in mon_lib_list.cif (run phenix.where_mon_lib_list_cif to get
the full path name). Look for data_link_TRANS and data_link_CIS,
scroll down to _chem_link_tor.value_angle, to see the restraint
definitions.

We don't have much experience using the phi, psi restraints.
If you don't mind, please let us know how it goes!

Ralf
