How to solve 'Exception: vector[min_max] max indexing'?

Modeling

I tried to edit the source code from StanMoMo/inst/stan/APCmodel.stan at master · kabarigou/StanMoMo · GitHub, modify the constraint to be the 13th term of cohort effect and second and penultimate periods to be zero.
The code is as below:

data {
  int<lower = 1> J;                    // number of age categories
  int<lower = 1> T;                    // number of years
  array[J*T] int d;                          // vector of deaths
  vector[J* T] e;                      // vector of exposures
  int<lower = 1> Tfor;                  // number of forecast years
  int<lower = 0> Tval;                  // number of validation years
  array[J*Tval] int dval;                     // vector of deaths for validation
  vector[J* Tval] eval;                 // vector of exposures for validation
}
transformed data {
  vector[J * T] input_offset = log(e);        // log exposures
  vector[J * Tval] offset2 = log(eval);     // log exposures for validation
  int<lower = 1> C;                     // index for the cohort parameter
  int<lower = 1> L;                     // size of prediction vector
  C=J+T-1;
  L=J*Tfor;
}
parameters {
  vector[J] a;                         // alpha_x
  
  real c;                           // drift term
  vector[T-2] ks;                   // vector of kappa
  
  real psi;                           // parameters of the AR(2) process
  real psi2;
  vector[C-1] gs;                       //vector of gamma
  
  array[2] real<lower = 0> sigma;            // standard deviation for the random walk and AR(2) process
}
transformed parameters {  
  vector[T] k;
  vector[C] g;
  real phi = negative_infinity();
  k[1] = ks[1];
  k[2] = 0;
  k[3:(T-2)] = ks[2:(T-3)];
  k[(T-1)] = 0;
  k[T] = ks[(T-2)];
  g[1:12]=gs[1:12];
  g[13]=0;
  g[14:C]=gs[13:(C-1)];
}
model {
  vector[J * T] mu; // force of mortality
  int pos = 1;
  for (t in 1:T) for (x in 1:J) {
    mu[pos] = input_offset[pos]+ a[x] + k[t]+g[t-x+J];         // Predictor dynamics
    pos += 1;
  }
  
  target += normal_lpdf(ks[1]|c,sigma[1]);
  target += normal_lpdf(ks[2:(T-1)]|c+ks[1:(T- 2)],sigma[1]); // Random walk with drift prior
  
  target+=normal_lpdf(gs[1]|0,sigma[2]) ;
  target+=normal_lpdf(gs[2]|psi*gs[1],sigma[2]) ;
  target+=normal_lpdf(gs[3:(C-2)]|psi*gs[2:(C- 3)]+psi2*gs[1:(C- 4)],sigma[2]) ;
  
  target += poisson_log_lpmf(d |mu);                // Poisson log model

  target += normal_lpdf(a|0,10);              // Prior on alpha and AR(2) parameters
  target += normal_lpdf(psi|0,sqrt(10)); 
  target += normal_lpdf(psi2|0,sqrt(10)); 
  target += normal_lpdf(c|0,sqrt(10));              // Prior on drift
  target += exponential_lpdf(sigma | 0.1);        //Prior on sigma
}
generated quantities {
  vector[Tfor] k_p;
  vector[Tfor] g_p;
  vector[C+Tfor] gf;
  vector[L] mufor;
  vector[J*T] log_lik;
  vector[J*Tval] log_lik2;
  int pos = 1;
  int pos2= 1;
  int pos3= 1;
  
  k_p[1] = c+k[T]+sigma[1] * normal_rng(0,1);
  for (t in 2:Tfor) k_p[t] = c+k_p[t - 1] + sigma[1] * normal_rng(0,1);
  
  g_p[1]=psi*g[C]+psi2*g[C-1]+sigma[2]*normal_rng(0,1);
  g_p[2]=psi*g_p[1]+psi2*g[C]+sigma[2]*normal_rng(0,1);
  for (t in 3:Tfor) g_p[t]=psi*g_p[t-1]+psi2*g_p[t-2]+sigma[2]*normal_rng(0,1);
  
  gf=append_row(g,g_p);
    for (t in 1:Tfor) for (x in 1:J) {
      mufor[pos] = a[x] + k_p[t]+ gf[T+t-x+J];
      pos += 1;
    }
    mufor = exp(mufor);
    for (t in 1:T) for (x in 1:J) {
      log_lik[pos2] = poisson_log_lpmf (d[pos2] | input_offset[pos2]+ a[x] + k[t]+g[t-x+J]);
      pos2 += 1;
    }
    
    for (t in 1:Tval) for (x in 1:J) {
      log_lik2[pos3] = poisson_log_lpmf(dval[pos3] | offset2[pos3]+ a[x] + k_p[t]+gf[T+t-x+J]);
      pos3 += 1;
    }
}

The part that I modified:

transformed parameters {  
  vector[T] k;
  vector[C] g;
  real phi = negative_infinity();
  k[1] = ks[1];
  k[2] = 0;
  k[3:(T-2)] = ks[2:(T-3)];
  k[(T-1)] = 0;
  k[T] = ks[(T-2)];
  g[1:12]=gs[1:12];
  g[13]=0;
  g[14:C]=gs[13:(C-1)];
}

However, the following error popped up:

Chain 1: Unrecoverable error evaluating the log probability at the initial value.
Chain 1: Exception: vector[min_max] max indexing: accessing element out of range. index 8 out of range; expecting index to be between 1 and 7 (in 'string', line 63, column 2 to column 61)

Is it because of log-probability?

The error says: index 8 out of range; expecting index to be between 1 and 7

Which means that you’re trying to use a index that is greater than the number of elements of the container, you need to check your indexing
