Results of PCA function

Hello, I got some trouble understanding why I get a different result than the PCA function that is incorporated on Matlab. I have uploaded the data that i worked on to get the results
load('X_imputed');
[coeff,score,latent] = pca(X_imputed,'algorithm','eig');
If I got it right, coeff is the Loadings.
I tried to replicate the results on my own, I got the same absolute value that coeff and score, but the signals are different, and I would like to know what I did wrong? or perhaps in my calculation there a sign that is wrong, because i got the absolute valuthe same.
meanX = mean(X_imputed);
Z = (X_imputed-ones(75,1)*mean(X_imputed)); % Centering
covZ = cov(Z); % Covariance
[vec_p,lambda_aux] = eig(covZ);
val_p = diag(lambda_aux);
[lambda,ind_ord] = sort(val_p,'descend');
L1 = vec_p(:,ind_ord); % Loadings
T1 = Z * L1; % Scores
Thanks for your time and help.

Hi Tiago,
It's good to verify things as you are doing, and I don't believe that there is any problem. The eigenvalues agree. The columns of the coeff matrix (your L1) are normalized eigenvectors with real coefficients. Assuming they should stay real, eigenvectors are still undetermined within a factor of +-1. In this case, coeff and L1 differ by a factor of -1 in columns 2,5,6,7,8. Nothing wrong with that. Accordingly, score and your T1 differ by a factor of -1 in those same columns.
