The two solutions are probably equivalent under crystallographic
symmetry - they simply represent different versions of the ASU.  It's
possible that they also have different origins, but I can't tell from
your description whether this is the case.  What kind of refinement
are you running that results in clashes, and what is the clashscore
for the resulting model?  (Please include the program version.)  As a
general rule, reciprocal-space refinement without phases should work
regardless of the origin or ASU, so it could just be a weighting
problem.  If you are running real-space refinement that is potentially
more problematic, but I doubt that's the problem in this case.
