But if you still insist, it is obvious that the soul, if present to begin with, can be only in the head, and only in the brain then. We do not have prosthetic brains yet, so there is nothing to discuss yet.
It is my opinion that your statement that the "soul" can only be in the head/brain is unjustified. It is, to me, like claiming that the essence of a computer lies in a single central processor, ignoring chips on the periphery.
That said, I would also like to point out that current neural interface research does not focus exclusively on limb prostheses. For a number of years, brain prostheses have been studied. While these are not entirely artificial brains, they certainly may be considered replacement parts for the brain. Perhaps there is something to discuss after all.
