Thanks. I will place them then within the distance from the box edge =
distance between atoms within the tube right? I can create bonds and use
harmonic spring constant like for backbone protein atoms...but whats the
point when they do not move anyway? I am using NVT.


If your goal is simply to have some series of atoms in a cylindrical overall shape that do not move, there is no purpose to using bonds. NVT will still suffer from problems with frozen groups; the temperature will not be right because after a collision with a solvent atom, the tube atom by definition cannot move.
