How could former Marine sharpshooter Oswald miss everything with his first shot?

If Oswald was standing/crouching during his first, sharply-downward-angled shot, the muzzle of his short-rifle was probably just inside the building, making that shot sound somewhat muffled compared to his next two shots when the muzzle was outside the building.

That is a possibility although it was loud enough for JBC to recognize it as a rifle shot. For reasons we can only guess at, some people didn't seem to hear it or they didn't recognize it for what it was. I think the roar of the motorcycles accelerating out of the turn onto Elm might have played a part as well.
