Start by not mixing force fields.  There is no reason to believe that anything 
produced by PRODRG would be compatible with an AMBER force field.  Hence why 
PRODRG says it produces GROMOS-compatible topologies, with no mention of AMBER 
of any of the others.  The underlying derivation of the force fields and general 
theory (united-atom vs. all-atom being a major one) make these force fields 
incompatible.

To properly treat your system, it should be fairly straightforward to use 
antechamber or acpypi to develop your ligand parameters.
