Given the speed of Impact and trajectory I'd expect them to be found right beside on another. The crater isn't that big so where is it?
I believe the recorders in one or both of the Max accidents were only found after much searching, so it's not altogether surprising that the Chinese FDR is still outstanding.
Both recorders will have been reduced to mangled fragments - only the stainless steel or titanium shell that protects the memory modules needs to survive - and the missing one could well be several feet down in the mud.
