[QE-users] Bands Coordinates do not Match

I'm trying to do a bands calculation of a material with monoclinic
structure and P21/m  space group.
 In the input file, I specify the path as follows:

0.0000000000     0.0000000000     0.0000000000   30   !Gamma
0.5000000000     0.0000000000     0.0000000000   15   !Y
0.5421686747    -0.3571428571     0.0000000000   10   !H
0.5000000000    -0.5000000000     0.0000000000   20   !C
0.5000000000    -0.5000000000     0.5000000000   10   !E
0.4578313253    -0.6428571429     0.5000000000   15   !M1
0.0000000000    -0.5000000000     0.5000000000   20   !A
0.0000000000    -0.5000000000     0.0000000000   15   !X
0.4578313253    -0.6428571429     0.0000000000   0    !H1
0.5421686747    -0.3571428571     0.5000000000   15   !M
0.5000000000     0.0000000000     0.5000000000   30   !D
0.0000000000     0.0000000000     0.5000000000   0    !Z
0.5000000000     0.0000000000     0.0000000000   20   !Y
0.5000000000     0.0000000000     0.5000000000   0    !D

 However, in the output file, I see the following lines:

Reading collected, re-writing distributed wavefunctions
     high-symmetry point:  0.0000 0.0000 0.0000   x coordinate   0.0000
     high-symmetry point:  0.5000 0.0977 0.0000   x coordinate   0.5095
     high-symmetry point:  0.5422-0.1181 0.0000   x coordinate   0.7294
     high-symmetry point:  0.5000-0.2160 0.0000   x coordinate   0.8360
     high-symmetry point:  0.5000-0.2160 0.3627   x coordinate   1.1987
     high-symmetry point:  0.4578-0.3139 0.3627   x coordinate   1.3052
     high-symmetry point:  0.0000-0.3137 0.3627   x coordinate   1.7631
     high-symmetry point:  0.0000-0.3137 0.0000   x coordinate   2.1258
     high-symmetry point:  0.4578-0.3139 0.0000   x coordinate   2.5836
     high-symmetry point:  0.5422-0.1181 0.3627   x coordinate   2.5836
     high-symmetry point:  0.5000 0.0977 0.3627   x coordinate   2.8036
     high-symmetry point:  0.0000 0.0000 0.3627   x coordinate   3.3130
     high-symmetry point:  0.5000 0.0977 0.0000   x coordinate   3.3130
     high-symmetry point:  0.5000 0.0977 0.3627   x coordinate   3.6757

 I don't understand exactly what this means. The coordinate system seems to
be switched(?).
 When I search for the coordinates of the high symmetry points in the
filbands output file, I only find the first Gamma point if I use the first
set of lines above, and if I do the same search using the second set of
lines above, I only find some of the points.

Sincerely
