The interaction of the electronic shell of a hexatomic "symmetric top" molecule with the Dark Matter halo is studied under the assumption that it is formed by a condensate of the pseudoscalar axion field. In the linear order, the contribution of the corresponding interaction vanishes for non-chiral molecules in equilibrium configurations, that's why chiral molecules were previously considered for its search. In this paper, we point out the possibility of this interaction for non-chiral molecules of the "symmetric top" type through transitions between excited rovibrational, and consider it using the example of the RaOCH3 molecule. For this molecule, the effect is strongly suppressed, but the mechanism considered can lead to the observable effects in other molecules of this type. Keywords: axion, symmetric top molecule, opposite parity levels, self-consistent field.
