Well, I think this difference of 0.002 A is fine given the numerical
accuracy of the calculation

and different functionals might give quite different results but with
a similar accuracy.

Your system has not the expected symmetry and thus the charge as well.
Maybe there is something wrong with the setup. I would check the
atomic coordinates.
And does the periodic repetition of your cell result in the expected
structure?
