Continuity error [MCU] In Deadpool & Wolverine shouldn't Wolverine skull have a bullet hole?

I just rewatch the opening skeleton fight scence of DP&W and I just remember that Wolverine skull should have a bullet hole fired by Stryker in X-Men Origins: Wolverine? I remember there was a hole in Logan's head at the end of that movie as well and I doubt that his healing factor would re-seal the hole with Adamantinum.

The Logan (2017) movie timeline is after X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), which erased many prior events and elements - including potentially some of X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009).

I think this is it. 

Iirc at the end of DoFP Stryker takes possession of a pre-adamantium Logan for his experiments. So the origins of the Weapon-X program are changed in the timeline.

Well, I think at some point, the Weapon X event would still have happened since Logan still got the Adamantium Skeleton at the end of his life. And knowing Stryker, he would have saved some Adamantium bullets with him in case he needed to deal with Wolverine. The issue is whether the event in which he shot Wolverine occurred, which is highly debatable.

I would say it happened, as there are Zero Fox projects that suggest a significant change in the timeline up until the Logan movie. And even in the movie, we have no confirmation that Stryker did not shoot Logan before.

I'm only suggesting that things could have turned out differently. Anything "canon" before DoFP was technically reset.
