Your approach uses the old XPLOR interface which has been superseded
by the Python interface. For this case, it is almost certainly better
to use the SymSimulation strict symmetry facility discussed in the
Protein Science, 27, 26 (2018) paper.

I believe your specific issue is due to an atom which lies on a
symmetry axis. Using the current SymSimulation implementation, it
would probably be easiest to simply replicate this atom, but disable
nonbonded interactions between the copies. Perhaps you can implement
this in the old interface if other approaches don't work out.
