What EDA Tool do you use ?
There are many simulators which have an analysis called as "PSS".

The model of the transmission line was extracted from HFSS as RLGC model.
Is it truely "
RLGC" model ?

It also suggested me to use Harmonic balance method.
As I see from PSS, I have "Shooting" and "Flexible balance",
So, is it correct that I should choose "Flexible balance" ?? :-?
If you mean PSS of Cadence Spectre, "Flexible balance" is "Harmonic balance".
I think Cadence did not like to use word of "Harmonic balance" obstinately due to historical reason.
Currently Cadence call it "Harmonic balance".

Perhaps I do not know how to set the paramters in Flexible balance correctly.
If anyone used Flexible balance mode in PSS before,
please suggest me how to simulate my oscillator in this mode.
