Why are there no isomers for [Zn(H2O)(NH3)2]2+ ?

My books says
Different structural isomers are not possible. The H2O can bond at any one of the four equivalent sites with NH3 in the other three sites.
I do not understand the reasoning that isomers are not possible. Can anyone explain?

OK, draw for us two different isomers. You can do it in paint, and attach, or try to get a stick-figure in wordpad. If you have two, be sure they're unique, and not just mirror images of the same one.

Hey, I'm not judging. I just like to shoot straight. I'm a man of science.
