You can use the apply_cif_link parameters.

The _chem_comp.group value is ignored by phenix.refine.
The classifications are obtained via analysis of the atom names
and the bonding in the monomer definitions.

It is strange that it thinks there is a peptide but still applies two
rna/dna links. Could you send me (not the list) the part from the pdb
file with the Q1 chain?
