[Wien] k-points for band structure

Hi, i've been trying to get the band structure of GaN starting with a little
supercell obtained from the SUPERCELL code included in Wien2k. The problem
is that i don't know what k-points should be selected to get the correct
band structure, because i'm getting a band structure with the symmetry
points aligned incorrectly. I've tried selecting the k points with Xcrysden
too but i can't get it right.  Please help me. Thanks a lot in advance. The
supercell was created from a 2 atom cell (F43m, no. 216) and only
duplicating the cell parameter in the Z direction. The structure file
obtained has 16 atoms and is the following. :
