Error using atan2
Inputs must be real.
how can i fix this?

d is 150 so sqrt(1-d^2) is not going to be real.
That appears to be the only place you are using complex numbers, so I recommend you recheck your formula.

oh I was a typo, it should be "D", I updated some parameters but now my th4 is not give me a solution

It gives the value of th4, but the output is in the symbolic format. Convert it into a floating-point value by using double(). Change the line like this
th4 = double(atan2(c1*c23*r13+s1*c23*r23+s23*r33,-c1*s23*r13-s1*s23*r23+c23*r33))
