In ADS, there seems to be a problem with the calculation of the Y parameter?

My topology is a pi network with only passive lumped elements and I want to use the Y parameters to calculate the admittance of the three parts of the pi network.

As can be seen from the figure, my imagY(2,1)=imagY(1,2)=(imag(Y21) + imag(Y12))/2 (because the three curves in the lower left corner overlap), imag(Y11) = imag(Y22) (similarly, the two curves in the lower right corner also overlap).

So the question is, why is (imag(Y21) + imag(Y12))/2 + imag(Y11) ≠ (imag(Y21) + imag(Y12))/2 + imag(Y22)? (As can be seen from the figure), their curves are not equal, and it is not a simple "negative" relationship. I tried other circuits (even including converting the S parameters obtained by testing passive components such as capacitors into Y parameters and then calculating them), and found that they are not equal? Why?

Ports 3/4 are connected to my passive pi network, and port 12 is connected to the test data I imported through the DAC (testing a passive capacitor)

The difference that you search for is rather small, 0.0x
The visual overlap of the curves in the lower left graph at a scale of +/- 5 would not show such difference.

You better plot the difference to see how much difference you really have, instead of trusting your visual check for curve overlap.
