I think you are looking for the "regenerate angles dihedrals" command,
which should be used after all patches are applied. You can avoid this by
explicitly declaring angles and dihedrals inside a residue or patch, but I
don't recommend that in general, since unexpected things can happen if you
(or someone else) calls regenerate in some other context.
Making new residues in the context of a protein/peptide is a rather
advanced task. Make sure you are correctly generating terms that cross
between residues, especially crossterms.
