A two umpire crew cannot have the best angle on all the plays. I think what you did was about as good as you're going to get. Of course there are other options, but they will all have pluses and minuses.
In this situation, there are the fair/foul, catch/no-catch variables, but there is also, who will field the ball, will they be running toward the infield or toward the outfield, will the runner aggressively try for second at the risk of being doubled off or will they play it safe staying near first, and once the fielder has the ball will they first attempt a close play at 1B or a close play at 2B. There are probably even more scenarios, including whether it will be a tag play at 2B or whether they touched the bag on the force.
