Here are the systems which worked attached above.

In monoclinic system c-unique the z axis should be an axis of order 2,
or the xy plane should be a mirror plane or both. I do not known in
which case you are but if none of the above is true thermo_pw says that
the lattice should be triclinic.

Just to be clear, the c lattice vector z component should be at least 100 times larger?
Also what do you mean of mirror plane? Could u kindly elaborate on that?
Monoclinic means a b c are not equal vectors and gamma has an angle different from 90.

In my 2nd comment I was not asking a question, I was saying the reason I believe my answer was correct is because based on the theory one of the high symmetry points should be Y in the form (0,y,0) found in 233 and 769 but not in 158.

I do not understand why it should be ibrav =14? Any thoughts on that?

Also if I change my k points from 10 10 1 to 40 40 1 or 20 40 1 should that matter?

Thank you and looking forward to your reply.

In monoclinic system c-unique the z axis should be an axis of order 2,
or the xy plane should be a mirror plane or both. I do not known in
which case you are but if none of the above is true thermo_pw says that
the lattice should be triclinic. So the question is why the code does
not find the symmetries you expect? Read the user manual of pw.x for
the possible answers to this question.

Do not know. Please provide all coordinates otherwise I cannot check,
but if you have other systems where the coordinates are correct,
probably this is a problem of your input.

The two methods should be equivalent.
