[Wannier] The fermi level downshifted below VBM when using GW method

Hello,
I am calculating the band structure of bulk Bi2Te3 using GW method. I have
recompiled the vasp code with vasp2wannier included and the band structure
was calculated using wannier interpolation. The topology of the band
structure with GW is almost same as the one without GW, but the Fermi level
is not correct. That is, the Fermi level is now ~0.25 eV below the original
VBM site. Could anyone give me some suggestion? Thank you very muck!
The following are the wannier90.win file and the INCAR file in the last
step I use:
INCAR:

ISPIN = 2
LSORBIT = .TRUE.
ISMEAR = 0
SIGMA = 0.05

LORBIT = 11
NPAR = 16
EDIFF = 1E-8
NBANDS = 288
EMIN = -20; EMAX = 20
NEDOS=2000

ALGO = GW0 ; LSPECTRAL = .TRUE. ; NOMEGA = 288
PRECFOCK = Fast
NKRED = 3
LWANNIER90=.TRUE.


wannier90.win:

num_wann=30
num_bands=60

num_iter = 200

# for GW uncomment
exclude_bands 1-10,71-288

#kmesh_tol = 0.0000001
#use_bloch_phases = T

Begin Projections
Bi:px;py;pz
Te:px;py;pz
End Projections

dis_win_max = 10.0
dis_froz_max = 7
dis_mix_ratio = 1.0

#dis_froz_max=20
dis_num_iter= 1000

spinors = .true.

#guiding_centres=true
