Is it true that if in the pattern "noun of noun", where the association is impiled, not posession, for example " a photo of the man", if the first noun has "the", we can't say it using "of", in other words, we can't say "This is the man that I have the photo of." I was told by AI that "the"sounds bad before a noun followed by of.

Your opening sentence was far too long and there wasn't a question mark to be seen. Note my changes above. You had two basic misspellings (please install an English spellchecker on your browser), the word "if" twice (before and after the clause in commas), and you put a space after opening quotation marks.
In other words, we can't say "This is the man that I have a photo of."
This should have been a new sentence to break up that long chunk of text. If you're trying to make a version that matches the original, you needed "a photo" to match "a photo of the man".

It's odd that you thought to put "the" in quotation marks but failed to put them round "of"!
