Hi Bryan,

- check the .cif file to make sure it defines the ideal geometry that 
you are expecting from your ligand to have;

- check .geo file to see if the restraints for that particular ligand 
are actually used in refinement. The .geo file contains the list of all 
the geometry restraints used in phenix.refine refinement (bonds, angles, 
planarities, chiralities, dihedrals, non-bonded, NCS, custom defined 
restraints and edits), for each and every atom, making it a complete 
foot-print of geometry restraints used to obtain the final refined 
structure.

- is your ligand located on a special position?

Pavel.
