Hi SA, I think this is due to the original amb2gmx.pl coder only considering AMBER type dihedrals. He/She didn't expect any negative values. You'll notice certain groups like NAc and COO- on sugars are affected when you run your simulation. Below is a similar post with a fix to the amb2gmx.pl code

You could use GLYCAM which is in AMBER so the parameters are already there in the correct format (but not in the AMBER ported to GROMACS) and convert that to GROMACS topology.
