Hi Hari,
What is your space group?  I am guessing that the shift is along an axis
where the origin is not fixed, for example the b axis in P21. This could
happen with rigid-body refinement where a molecule can move as a whole so
that the center of mass could move along that axis.  Perhaps someone else
can comment as to whether there is or could be an optional term in
phenix.refine to maintain the center of mass at the same coordinate in
such cases.
All the best,
Tom T
