the climate 250 mya was very tropical, so maybe those fossils could've been found there even w/o continental drift

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Fossils naturally could be located in the places where Alfred Wegner found them without the continents moving if the climate of that region million years ago would have been different, with tropical weather, and enough plants and vegetation for the dinosaurs to feed and survive.

Alfred Wegner (1880-1930) was the scientist that proposed the theory of the Continental Drift. He stated that millions of years ago, the continents moved and displaced until they stop in the places that now we live. He tried to prove his theory showing evidence of animal fossils and rocks.
