ReadySet! is not able to add D/H onto alternative locations. That needs to
be done with care to ensure that the correct atoms are "seeing" the correct
atoms in the surrounding environment.

The restraints should happen automatically in refinement if you have the
correctly named atoms in the correct location. You can check this in the
.geo file.

I'm happy to assist if you send me the model, off-line.
