I would be that it is the GGA+U correction that is causing problems, not
the position of the atoms. Does your calculation converge without the
+U? Does it converge wit ha very small +U value?
I also think, your smearing is a bit large for the number of k-points
you have, this should not be a problem for convergence, but can affect
the accuracy of your results.
diagonalization = 'cg'
Don't use CG, it is slow and does not converge "better" than davidson.
Why does everyone use CG diagonalization first thing when they have the
slightest problem? (It is a serious question, if it is in some tutorial
somewhere that tutorial needs to be corrected!)
