    Sorry, but there is no easy answer. You have a mismatch between 2 datasets but knowing why without knowing the sources of the data is impossible. It is likely a datum issue. For example, are you sure that the data you are loading over the WMTS imagery (GoogleMapsImagery) is opened using the correct specification? It is always worth checking.

    If the WMTS data are from a Google server then without further information I would suggest that they are correct. If not a Google server, then you might go back to the source and ask for further details.

    It could be even worse, if another dataset is shifted too, primordial.
