Whatever you do it is good practice to do your first run of refinement as
Review Restraints"
Under the Monitoring folder set the level to many (default medium)
and set the sigma cut off for chirals to 3.00 say to get a god list
Then run the job and you will get a list of violations of restraints
If your chirality ideal is -2 and the calculated value is +2 then think
whether you have built the ligand wrongly or whetherthe sign is wrongly
defined.

PS - you will also find the bad clashes ..
