To give it false guidence they would have to know it was there.
Stealth doesn't make it invisible to radar, it just reduces the signature to make it less likely to see it. There are other ways to ascertain it's position, once you have a suspicion it's there. And once you've guessed it's approximate location, you can use radar to pinpoint it.
It shows up as a very small radar signature, which can be, if you're only casually scanning the area, easy to lose in the background "noise". If you suspect something is in a small area, you can concentrate your attention - and even increase the gain of the signal - to make a small, normally inconsequential, radar return easier to spot.
I'll bet they used the control signals for the drone to make a guess at it's location.
