...assuming it is a protein, do:

  box alpha 90.0 beta 90.0 gamma 74.8 fixalpha fixbeta fixgamma
  center .CA mass origin
  image origin center triclinic

My guess is that your molecule has simply shifted such that it is no
longer in the center (i.e. spans across the periodic boundary).

I think it is a matter of perspective; both are probably correct, just
each has the solute in a different place (and hence the waters in
different places)... Try the above and see if that resolves your issues.
