Hi Yan,
I'm not sure how you would do this specifically because I don't have
experience with MDFF which it sounds like you will need.

I think a good plan might be to follow this tutorial and when you get to
this step in the .namd configuration file this step generates write a
collective variables module file to keep the RMSD between the homologous
structure and your target protein from deviating.

Best, Miro
