[QE-users] Regarding high symmetry K points

What are the chances for not getting high symmetric points for a
structure when is modelled by Burai.
I have modelled a Ga2O3 unit cell and from modeler when i project it along
the miller indices (100) I am not getting the K points .But along  the
planes like (010) (001) I am able to get the k-points. I have attached a
picture of this. Can anyone please help me with this.

This is the bands input file showing the k points as zero.
