I didnt change dihedral angel, bond .... do I have to change them? I didnt
arranged for (COH)3(NH3+)C to have charges consistent with its symmetry (TRS
ligand). I have different charge for CH2 groups, H, O. That is, There is not
symmetry. What should I do?

An solvated TRS will be best modeled with the same set of partial charges on each symmetric side group (e.g. COH). So every oxygen atom should have the same partial charge. To do this, generate a structure of this compound that has the three-fold symmetry so that whatever technique you use to generate charges will do so symmetrically. Then, test them extensively against experimental data.

When bound as a ligand, those charges might differ between ostensibly-equivalent atoms, but trying to parametrize the charges in the context of the binding site is outside your scope at this time.
