Android App Playing Ads When the Location is United States

Question

I am building an Android app using the following plugins. The APK is displaying random ads when the location is US. I am not able to reproduce the case as I am located in India. What would be the possible way to find the problem causing plugin? How can I fix that problem? Thanks for your help in advance.

These are my plugins:

You can install a VPN or Virtual Private Network application on your phone and use it to set your location to the United States. Then you can reproduce the error as many times as you would like.
