Check the PDB - looks like you defined them as C rather than Cl somehow.
Check their temperature factors, I bet they're way lower than the rest of
the ligand.

Also the arginine residue in the top left corner seems to be mis-modeled -
there's a water molecule where its end should be (and a nice negaive density
peak near the wrong position).
