FMA:24979 denotes the middle segment (zeugopod), its placement here is correct. See obo-anatomy archives for discussion
Most anatomists now agree that the three proximal bones of the tetrapod limbs are homologous to the two or three proximal elements of the paired fin skeleton of other sarcopterygians, that is the humerus-femur, radius-tibia, and ulna-fibula.[well established][VHOG]
