Could you run the superposition "the other way around", i.e. instead
of fitting A to B fit B to A.

In general, you cannot arbitrarily move a model with respect to the
crystallographic symmetry; you will get clashes due to symmetry.
If you fit B so that it is in the same place as A, and assuming A
has no clashes due to symmetry, then B should have no clashes, too.
