As long as it's a noncontact vs unsportsmanlike, there is no mandate to enforce from the succeeding spot. Right? It isn't specifically covered so let's use common sense and fair play.

I can only imagine enforcing from the previous spot on this. Perhaps there is one, but I cannot think of another non-contact foul that would be enforced from the spot of the foul. Enforcing it as such would seem very incongruous.
