Volume Profiles Different

Hello, I have noticed that the volume profiles of the 1m and 5m are slightly different.
I can't show it right now because the anomaly is "normal" again but just now it happened again that the VPO was at a completely different price.
Do I have to set anything specific so that the volume profile uses tick data?
I have made you a screenshot where you can see this based on yesterday.
The VPOC is not the same there either.
But the settings are the same for both windows

In the 5 minute chart I have set "ticks pre row" to 4 and in the 1 minute chart to 1.
I can see that if both are set to 1 then the VPOC is the same.
But that can't be the solution because otherwise my chart is very laggy if I have the volume profile at 1 tick in the 5 minute chart (and I have a very powerful PC that shouldn't really have any problems with that).

The "Ticks per Volume Bar" will affect the location of the Point of Control, as you are consolidating a set of prices into a single price, so the displayed value can be different between these situations. Refer to the following:

Another other setting you can check is:

Chart Settings; Data Limiting; Days to load for intraday chart type = nn

Try setting nn to the same value for both charts
