We’ll probably never be able to confirm it, but it’s an ingenious explanation.

Not to get all CSI, but both could be true. If Fr. Misael shot himself in the heart and was left handed, it is likely the gun could have pointed more to his left then straight to his back. An exit wound is larger than an entrance would, so the most obvious wound would have been seen in his right side, rather than “over the heart”.
