Rounds typically deform and fragment when they encounter hard objects.. the entrance wound would have been a mess as shards of jacket and bits of lead tumbled off of the edge of the plate. Based upon what I have observed.
Watch video of people shooting steel gongs/plate targets.
Did you actually watch the video? It can be seen bouncing upward from the point of impact. The expert commenting on the video shows the entry wound size, even had a chart to denote fragmentation size and showed how the entry wound was larger than would have been the case if it had not hit the plate. There is a hole/marking in the shirt where the bullet hit the shirt. The looseness of the shirt against the plate explains the odd shirt movement. The fragmentation of the bullet also would depend on the bullet and the armor used. Reading comments to the video reveals other experts warning people off that same armor for that exact problem (ricochet). Some bullets also will simply round-off the point and some fragment into pieces. The speed of the bullet and the distance before hitting the neck allowed for a certain amount of fragmentation that then continued, with further fragmentation remaining in the head.
A round entry wound from a ricochet? No.They don't bounce like in cartoons.
Maybe a keyhole if he used a solid bronze or copper slug, but neither is readily available.
I have also seen slowed down video discounting the whole shirtbthing...
IMHO he is slinging a lot of stuff to see how many clicks he can get, but like I said my observations of recovered projectiles is my own.
Look thicker than the projection of a nipple.

A ricochet IS a bullet 'bouncing' off of something by definition, and is the whole point to wearing armor.
The original video was slowed down in the video presented by the expert as well.
That guy did analysis of wounds for the military. I'll trust his judgement over casual observations by a random dude.
Sigh..
Bullets "bouncing off of water via a high speed camera. ou can see how they tumble

Striking bone, a can,a plate etc the bullet will mushroom fragment and or disintegrate.
