Attitude on Impact
Looking at that pic, I see the large "gouge" where the fuselage impacted, but there's a smaller one just to the left of it. Since the port engine sheared off rather cleanly, it seems to me that the smaller gouge is from the engine not the landing gear.
If that's the case, there's no matching gouge for the starboard engine. That suggests to me that the a/c was in a left bank attitude when it hit. Could a 50+ kt wind gust force the a/c the size of an A320 even lower?
