It is typically advisable to not post the same question multiple times until you
get an answer.  Try to solve your issue on your own and report back with what
you have done to help yourself.  That said, see pointers below.

Add an atomtype named H with the same parameters as opls_369.

It is quite explicit from point 2 (c) in the post you quote.  Copy the
[pairtypes] section directly from lipid.itp into ffoplsaanb.itp
