The answer might be simpler than you think. Have you ever seen a slow motion video of a drop of milk hitting a dish of milk? First you get a crater in the pool of milk. Then comes some ejecta around the perimeter of the crater. Lastly from the center of the crater rises a vertical column of milk as a small rebound effect happens. Translated to the rock of the planet and an incoming meteoric imapct, the structure inside the crater is likely a truncated rebound mound. The milk soon returns to being a flat surface being a liquid,, but the rock freezes in shape, retaining the crater and rebound mound, Whether a rebound mound forms at all and remains is likely tied to the rock dynamics of the underlying strata.
