Visualizing the Lunar Mass Anomaly found in the South Pole - Aitken Basin

I think the impact is at the small light beige area in the first photo, and the object was moving towards the location where the large mass came to rest. I edited one of your photos (I hope you don't mind) to show where I think the impact took place, and an approximate direction of travel for the mass. Do you think that Mathematica 12 could model the impact, and see if the scenario I suggested is plausible ?

The "light beige area" you refer to is a visual illusion caused by the confluence of all the grid lines. If you turn off the grid lines, I don't think you will still see it.
