The rule is very simple. Imagine you're on the 50 yard line and the player has the ball and takes a knee. Now you spot the ball where it was when his knee touched the ground.
Now move back to the endzone scenario. Now spot the ball where it was when the knee hit the ground. Put the ball on the ground where it should go, if the ball is pentrating the plane then you have a touchback otherwise you leave it where it is.
Sounds to me like they made the right call.
