Pangaea was a perfect fit... 200 million years ago. Today if you pieced the continents together today you would see that they are close to fitting, but the shorelines have eroded and the tectonic plates have changed their shape a bit.

Why isnt 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 plate tectonics. The movement of tectonic plates has shifted and rotated the continents since Pangaea, causing the current imperfect fit. Additionally, erosion and other geological processes have altered the shapes of the continents over millions of years.

Pangea did fit perfectly together. However, if you tried to fit the continents into Pangea again today, you'd have difficulty. This is because their coastlines are changed due to water erosion.

Why would the present shape of the continents not fit perfectly into the shape of Pangaea and what things might have changed the continents' shapes?

They would fit roughly together but not perfectly due to years and years of erosion. As evident as Africa and So. America are that they were once joined. Erosion does not work. Even with that they will not fit. Try it with cut outs. But shrink the size of the earths sphere to about 1/2 its size today and they fit perfect.
