Someone more knowledgeable about clustering in Ptraj may want to chime
in here, but I suspect that you're using 'rms' as your distance
metric, and I the RMS functionality in ptraj does indeed change around
coordinates during the course of the RMSD calculation (that is to say
inside the function itself). So I don't think this can be prevented.
Maybe you could realign the frames after clustering?

This is important to me because before the clustering was done I had aligned all the frames to 3 atomic centers ('mask1') and then performed the clustering on another part of the molecule ('mask2'). So before the clustering is done these atoms are aligned, after the clustering is done none of the clusters have these atoms aligned.
