Just watched an Air Crash Investigation episode in which the investigators studying the wreckage say that a certain bolt shearing off during flight caused the crash. How can they tell that the broken bolt was during flight and not because of the crash?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the theories that others have suggested to you. I have another,
Part of the reason that it is obvious that the bolt must have come off during the flight could be that
a) the bolt is super-important and the craft cannot operate properly without it and the most likely chain of events if that bolt falls off IS a crash.
*as in, something quite important fails or falls off if the bolt fails.*
or b) the bolt was found somewhere where it wouldn’t have been after the crash, because other data speaks against it,
*example: the bolt was found INSIDE an engine, obviously making quite a lot of a mess in there that would only be possible if the engine was turned on, which it wasn’t when the craft went down; there is video that shows that it was doing a telling smoke plume instead of producing a jet stream when the craft was headed groundwards.*
