At that moment, both engines rested about 300 metres back...
I'm confused, too.
We know where the engines ended up and we can deduce approximately where they were torn off (more accurately in the case of No 1 engine because of the marks on the tarmac).
But how are you relating that to the timeline in the FDR readout ? We can see that the gear was selected up at some point between 20:22:50 and 20:22:52, at which point the aircraft had rotated and was between 5' and 15' above the runway.
I can't see any charts in the FDR readout that show the horizontal position of the aircraft vs time.
