Dear Sayan, There are no multiple diffraction patterns in the images you sent us. However, the mosaicity appears to be quite high and in this case I would really recommend to process the data with XDS (if you have not already done that).
In the left side of image 2, there appear to be alternating loons with strong single spots, and loons with rows of streaky spots which are very close together, which reminds me of a crystal with lattice translocation disorder I once struggled with. However, it might also be bona fide diffraction, with the streaky spots caused by a combination of your long cell axis with high mosaicity. You can check this by overlaying the predicted spots on your diffraction pattern. All data processing programs have an option to do this. Finally, I would superimpose your MR solutions of C2 and P222 and look if they are exactly the same. If they are different, e.g. if one of the subunits in one of the space groups is translated with respect to the other, your crystal may contain a mixture both, causing to problems you are facing.

The Oscillation range was 1.0 degree. Please find attached two diffraction images. With best regards, Sayan Saha.

Inaccurate intensities result in high Rwork/Rfree. Why do the spots overlap? High mosaicity? Detector distance too small? Oscillation range too high (0.1° is typically adequate)? It would be good to see the data, otherwise we can only speculate. Space group does not change from one frame to the next. If you use XDS, a good guide to decide between higher and lower-symmetry space groups is to compare their ISa values. best, Kay > >2.
