Yes, I provided all the possible entries in the N2T.although the
problem is the same. I also recreated PDB and re-measured the
distances but everything seems pretty correct in my PDB.

N   N     2   S  0.17 S 0.17
F   F     1   C  0.14
S   S     4   O  0.17 O 0.17 C 0.18  N 0.17
C   C     4   F  0.14 F 0.14 F 0.14  S 0.18
O   O     1   S  0.17
