contents A rank $n$ Higgs bundle $(E,θ)$ is called generically regular nilpotent if $θ^n=0$ but $θ^{n-1}\neq 0$. We show that for a generically regular nilpotent Higgs bundle, if it admits a harmonic metric, then its graded Higgs bundle admits a unique maximal harmonic metric. The proof relies on a generalization of Kalka-Yang's theorem for prescribed curvature equation over a non-compact hyperbolic surface to a coupled system. As an application, we show that the branched set of a branched minimal disk in $\mathbb{H}^3$ has to be the critical set of some holomorphic self-map of $\mathbb{D}$.
