Hi;
Yes you can do it.
I you are sure about the interaction sites and the orientation, I will suggest you to build manually the complex and use the resulting model as template and build a new model. But this time use the "strongest" optimization routine (see the manual it is routine 3 or 1 I don't remember". Also depend on the result you may have to eliminate some restraint that may bias the final model.
I hope it helps.
