- Are you applying any restraints to ZN position? It may be a good idea. In my experience, this usually fixes problems similar to yours. To do so:
phenix.metal_coordination model.pdb
this will give you a file that defines these restraints. Have a look at it and edit if you find it necessary.
Then use this file in refinement.
- Try refining occupancy of ZN.

Can't say anything about it.
If you still need more help with this - please send me the data, model files and input parameters you used and I will have a look.
Pavel.
