CP2K vs Gaussian, H2O move away from Ni-4L complex, however, H2O stays on Ni-4L complex, Why?

Hi, 

I studied a Ni(OH)2 cluster, basically it is a Ni4 cluster. each Ni bond 
with 4 OH. Then there's two open site on top and bottom of Ni-4OH planar 
(Ni-4OH is square). I put two H2O molecule on the top and bottom of Ni (1.9 
angstrom). The H2O move away from Ni (about 3 angstrom) after optimized by 
CP2K (PBE, D3), however, H2O stays at Ni (2.0 angstrom) after optimized by 
Gaussian( M06L). 

Any CP2K expert know the reason about this different results? 

Thanks very much!
