The best estimate I can make of the position of EK409 by plotting on a chart, based on that screen shot is 03.34175 S, 109.08359 E (03 deg 20' 30.3" S, 109 deg 05' 00.9").

Does that fit with any of the ADS-B data coming from FR24 or other sources? Flightware actually gives that position of EK409 directly on track on M635, so no doubt their algorithms are only making a guesses at this stage of the flight.
