I would be a bit more concerned with the apparent lack of fit of the model to the map. It looks as if there is unoccupied side chain density, and possibly side chains that don't occupy density. It is hard to tell from a snapshot, but if this is the case, make sure everything is in register first, then re-refine, having reset the temperature factors to something sensible, and then when you converge on something that fits and makes sense, re-assess the map. Lots of green density sitting on your model might indicate problems with scaling the data or with the temperature factor refinement.
