Sorry, but quite stupid question: are these q-vectros
you used in cartesian or wrt basis vescors? As far as
I know q2r.x uses q-vectors in cartesian.
Besides, it might be that you specified insufficent
digits for q-vectors, so they  do not coincide with
those generated by q2r.x.

The best way is using of the latest version of QE
where  you can specify nx,ny,nz in ph.in file so that
the program ph.x generates q-vectors and then
calculates dynamical matrices for thes q-points. The
next step is  FFT by means of q2r.x. See example 6.

Bests,
Eyvaz.
