"autosym failed..."

For the Oh cluster, I put the full Cartesian coordinates in after "symmetry Oh" and it works fine. For the ico however, I put in the following coordinates (that have been "symmetrized" in gaussview to be Ih") with the line:
geometry bridge6 noautoz autosym 1d-0
and get only D3d symmetry:

Also, the structure is rotated in the .out file relative to the input coordinates; is there a preferred orientation that would give me a better shot of it "seeing" the higher order symmetries?

Thanks for your help.
