Looking at the state of the engines it appears that neither were producing power at time of impact. Also the fairly large intact fuselage pieces suggest a relatively low speed.
That also can be what happens when the downstream (away from terrain) engines dislodge and hit tailpipe first and stop the fan.

Reading the tea leaves gives a clue about how it hit,not why it hit
