Looking at your files, I'm seeing way more issues than just the alchemical
flags. How do you have multiple atoms in the same molecule with the same
name? The names also do not at all appear to match the residue in your RTF
from the server. I might suggest constructing the molecule in a
non-alchemical PSF first and making sure that you can simulate it in NAMD.
Then, produce a new residue or alchemical patch (PRES) that will create the
alchemical system. This should also make it easier to keep track of which
atoms belong in each group.
As per your other comments, it sounds like you are using only one set of
alchemical flags at a time - you need to define both groups in the ".fep"
file so that interactions between the endpoints can be noted and excluded.
Not doing this almost always leads to large forces and unstable dynamics.
