There is no force out in the OP.
So, still not sure.

A hard one to explain in words.
The OP has no force as you said.
Under the rule, if the force was still in effect but needed an appeal, the run depends on the timing. If a forced runner trailing the one scoring misses a base, and then is out on appeal; the run timing is
based on the time of the appeal (live ball) and not the time the runner should have touched the base.
It is USA SB only, adding to the confusion.
