There are 2 solutions, if we rule out Reflection

So reflections/rotations get a little strange with this because of the fact that you have stated that the middle-left and middle-middle squares can be a difference of 1. This means if you have a solution that works...and then reflect it across the Y-axis, there's a possibility that that reflected solution is not a valid solution anymore. Here's an example of this:

This solution works with the original configuration:

A=1, B=5, C=7, D=8, E=9, F=2, G=3, H=6, I=4       (G+H+I) = (A+B+C) =13  

If I reflect that across the Y-axis...you get this (which is no longer valid because E/F have a difference one 1):

A=7, B=5, C=1, D=2, E=9, F=8, G=4, H=6, I=3       (G+H+I) = (A+B+C) =13

With that being said, I could spend the time figuring out which ones are the true reflections/rotations/duplicates (some are easy to figure out) and which ones aren't...but here's all 24 of the possible solutions to the above:

A=1, B=5, C=7, D=8, E=9, F=2, G=3, H=6, I=4       (G+H+I) = (A+B+C) =13    
A=1, B=7, C=3, D=8, E=9, F=6, G=5, H=2, I=4       (G+H+I) = (A+B+C) =11    
A=1, B=7, C=5, D=8, E=9, F=2, G=3, H=6, I=4       (G+H+I) = (A+B+C) =13    
A=3, B=6, C=4, D=8, E=9, F=2, G=1, H=5, I=7       (G+H+I) = (A+B+C) =13    
A=3, B=6, C=4, D=8, E=9, F=2, G=1, H=7, I=5       (G+H+I) = (A+B+C) =13    
A=3, B=6, C=4, D=8, E=9, F=2, G=5, H=1, I=7       (G+H+I) = (A+B+C) =13    
A=3, B=7, C=1, D=8, E=9, F=6, G=5, H=2, I=4       (G+H+I) = (A+B+C) =11

"the middle-middle square is adjacent to all other square"

This implies that the restriction applies to diagonally adjacent squares. There are only two solutions, along with their vertical reflections, that qualify in this case.

Some of your solutions is wrong, "adjacent" also means adjacent diagonally. Re filter your answers.

Reflection works vertically

Ah, I missed a few of the diagonals (I accounted for the center square but not all):

2 unique solutions, 1 reflection per solution (across the X-Axis)
