Hi,
It is difficult to understand the problem without seeing the relevant input
and output files, or at least knowing what works and what does not.
One possible issue could be an incorrect specification of the atomic
coordinates, for example due to a mismatch in the units used.
If possible, please share the input file and the relevant output/error
messages so that the problem can be identified more easily.
Best regards.

Giovanni
