A "probability map" from the German Scientists.
Looks like only the very northern part of the last arc matches the ocean drift simulation. And most of it is far away from the arc.
Maybe the flaperon is indeed from a third world junk yard where a non-recycleable part ended when a 777 was scrapped...
Or it is indeed impossible to track a floating item back to its origin.
