    $\begingroup$ Your "centre of symmetry" works only in one direction, that is to say, the left-right direction. Try inverting the front two carbons through your centre of symmetry; you'll find that it actually isn't a centre of symmetry. You can't pick and choose which atoms are inverted and which aren't. Also, it's helpful if you can rotate your image 90° before posting it, and I don't mean that you should post it upside down. $\endgroup$
