Result of the play is a Safety. The loose ball struck the pylon which is out of bounds behind the goal line. K's snap was the force that put the ball in the end zone, so K is responsible.

You seem to want a foul for batting by R30 (It's something he wouldn't do intentionally, because he'd rather recover for a TD - unless it's BLATANT it shouldn't be called) so we'll pretend he did it. The penalty for this foul is 15 yards. Because it was a foul by R behind K's goal line, enforcement would be from the goal line.

If K declines the penalty, it would be a safety, K would free-kick from their own 20 yard line.

If K accepts the penalty, the ball would be spotted on K's 15 yard line, replay the down or award a new series depending on where the line to gain was (you didn't say). The play ended when the ball went out of bounds so the clock would start on the snap.
