This position is the only position in which Connally or anyone else can even get the back or dorsal aspect of his forearm close to facing the path of a bullet exiting his chest just below his right nipple.
However, unless Connally's nipples were up near his collar bone, which I seriously doubt, his wrist would have been too high in z230 to have been hit by the same bullet that transited his chest. Lowering the arm in future frames, as you suggest, has the effect of rotating the forearm forward, and presenting the side of the forearm to the path of the bullet.
The side of the radius bone was not hit by a bullet, it was the top of the radius the bullet struck.
P.S. The medical evidence shows the bullet passed between the radius and ulna bones, travelling from the back side of the arm to the palm side. It did not, as you suggest, pass through the radius bone.

Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
