I think you got the correct case. The point of the case is not that the technical was called for elbows, but that a technical was called on the shooting team while the ball was in flight and the goal counts.
Look at NF rule 6.7.5 exception 1. It states the ball becomes dead on the whistle except if the whistle occurs while a try or tap is in flight.
Although there seems to be conflicting rules (4.6.1 and 10.3.5) regarding touching the ring (intentionally) while the ball is in or above the cylinder as to whether it is BI or a T, I believe the T takes precedence. The conflict may be moot in your case, because you seem to indicate the ball was in flight, but not necessarily over the cylinder when A2 grabbed the ring.
