I warrant that after the missile went bang, what was left of the none explosive parts hit the wing as they began the fall back to earth. With the forward motion of the aircraft, the wing probably travelled into their path. Either that, or it is damage from the explosive shrapnel.
Ditto, the skidmark doesn't appear to me the making of a high speed ballistic impact.
