[Wien] Problem with x symmetry

The original calculation was done with a patched 12.1 for consistency 
reasons. I *thought* I used 13's x symmetry when testing this morning. 
However, it would seem that the module did not swap properly. Having 
retested with 13 it seems to work now.

I've also looked into the positive atom numbers, that specific struct 
had gone through 12's sgroup which seems to have changed those from 
negative to positive and messed with the rotational matrices i assume.


Thanks,

Michael Sluydts
