Dear Giulio,
Method 1) should work. It is difficult to know exactly what is happening unless you tell us more about the output you get. But a common mistake is to use the numbering of the template, instead of the numbering of the model, when specifying the RESIDUE_IDS of the residues to be patched. In your script, does '298' '303' correspond to the numbering of the cysteine residues in the template or the model? It should be the numbering in the model.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Roberto
