Here is how I usually handle with this (hope it will help you):

in tleap:

source leaprc.gaff
source leaprc.ff99SB

loadamberprep ligand.prepin
loadamberaparams ligand.frcmod

complex = loadpdb complex.pdb

check complex

solvate complex ...

addions complex ....

saveamberparm complex ...

where complex.pdb is a pdb file with the ligand and the protein in the
coordinates system I want to use in the simulations. The ligand must
have all the hydrogen atoms (not really sure if it is necessary) and
the atom names should be exactly the same as used in antechamber
(necessary). Doing like this I usually avoid the ligand and protein
to be in different coordinate systems.
