Hi,

Because they were possibly not landing gear tracks but rear under belly related (tail). Landing gear is more than 2 times wider than this track left (also it can not be related to engine's thrust as it would be larger than landing gear). It is a sandy area and from the initial impact, it is showing a fairly deep trench which, see from above, may look like parallel tracks while in fact it is sand edges.
