When r1=r2, there is no restraint at all for distances less than 3.04
Ang. Also, since r3 is so close to r4, there is only a very weak
restraint on distance greater than 3.04 Ang.

You should actually plot out the restraint energy as a function of
distance to see what is happening. Based on what you wrote, you
probably want r1 to be quite small, and r4 to be quite big.
