How do you troubleshoot "inconsistent or unspecified charge/multiplicity"?

Hi all,
I am trying to run SAPT calculations through PSI4. I ran a basic examples of dimer molecules and it ran successfully. Then I tried to run a SAPT calculation for Protein-Ligand complex. As I am a beginner, I took only one residue from protein (methionine) and ligand to run the calculation. The calculation returned with error immediately with inconsistent or unspecified charge/multiplicity. I have pasted the error message below,

Can someone help me what mistake I did here? Any help/suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

You got an error saying that the charge and multiplicity are inconsistent because the charge and multiplicity are inconsistent.

In a case like this, the first thing to do is to check if Psi runs a HF for any of the individual monomers. Trying that would you show you that the problem is in monomer two.

More specifically, you told Psi that your second molecule is in a singlet spin state and is electrically neutral. It isn’t. For organic ligands, this normally means your atoms are incorrect or that this ligand is ionic.
