I hope this helps.
1. PSK requirements start at the snap.
2. The foul must be committed by R.
3. The foul must take place beyond the expanded neutral zone (2 yards deep in the defense).
4. R must be in possession of the ball at the end of the play.
5. The window closes when the kick ends.
6. You enforce the penalty where it hurts R the most, either the end of the kick or where the ball is downed, which ever will hurt them the most (all but one principle).
That is the basics. The rule was created because K is giving up the ball. Before this rule was put in place, K would get a "cheap" first down on these types of penalties. The PSK enforcement was created so that R would keep the ball and get penalized
Peace
