Centering coordinates for energy calculation

Hello,
I am trying to calculate the electric field above a single non-periodic
molecule system. I am using a cell much larger than the molecule to avoid
interactions between the periodic image (the cell is [26.0, 21.0, 15.0]).
As I am only interested in looking at the field above the molecule, I have
performed the geometry optimisation and the electric field calculation with
the keyword
&CENTER_COORDINATES
CENTER_POINT 13.0 10.5 0.0
&END
which should place the molecule in the center bottom of the cell. Looking
at the coordinates of the optimised configuration, this is not the case.
The molecule is in the bottom left bottom of the cell instead, and the
resulting EFIELD_CUBE is cut off the edge. How do I place the molecule
where I want it? Should I use the CENTER_COORDINATES at all during
optimisation?
Attached is the input file.
Thanks,
Gary
