Continents are generally being moved in a direction perpendicular to their position on a side of a mid-ocean rift. For instance, if they're located west of the line of the rift that runs in a north-south direction, the continent will be moving westward.

No. The continents 'float' on a huge reservoir of magma - melted rock - and the deep underground/undersea forces push the continents slowly but unstoppably around on the surface of the globe.

Why isn't the fit perfect of the continents were once part of Pangaea?
Because the continents have distorted a little over time - as plates push together the land masses change. Also the coast has eroded over time.
Why isn't the fit perfect if the continents were once part of Pangaea?
The fit isn't perfect because the Earth's surface is constantly changing due to tectonic plate movements, which have caused the continents to drift apart over millions of years. This movement has led to changes in the shapes and positions of the continents, resulting in the current imperfect fit of the continents.
