You haven't listed what you've done to try to address these (i.e., what you 
added to ffbonded.itp), so it's still somewhat hard to help.  I will list here 
the correct order of atomtypes, in the hopes that it helps you match suitable 
parameters.  Order of atomtypes may matter.  I see that you have an issue with a 
dihedral of type OH-CT-CT-NA, but you added parameters for NA-CT-CT-OH.  In 
principle, the order should be matched either way, but you may have to list 
atomtypes in the exact same order.

So this one is HC-CT-CT-NA

Easily fixed by using the right directive name - [molecules], not [molecule].
