The point of the convolution is to efficiently capture information from surrounding pixels when considering a single pixel. Back in the pre-DL olden days, computer vision stuff still involved convolutions, they were just handcrafted -- we had a lot of signal processing machinery we could use to eg detect edges and such. In your case, you don't really have anything to convolve over.

You could try just feeding the coordinates into an MLP with the other covariates and it should be able to capture that spatial component.
