CHARMM-gui creates empty space between LPS-s and terminates while building e. coli outer membrane with peptides above it [closed]

I'm trying to build outer membrane of e. coli with small peptides above it, with CHARMM-GUI. Peptides should be positioned above the membrane, but CHARMM-GUI creates space for them between LPS (...
