Well, did you read the section in the NF book?
Here it is:
G: when dead-ball fouls occur after fourth down:
1: Signal any live ball fouls
2: Signal first down
3: Signal dead ball
4: Signal the dead ball foul.
If your have live ball fouls to deal with, why in the world are you then doing steps 2,3 and 4?
In case you haven't been dealing with NFHS publications, they do have errors in them. In this case, this sequence is wrong as written.
I have no problem if an official wants to do steps 3,4,2 or 2,3,4. Both are
perfectly correct in my opinion, though I favor steps 3,4,2 because the normal handling of penalties is to signal the foul, mark off the penalty and them signal either the next down (or LOD) or signal first down. That makes more sense to me.
Now, what's for lunch in the cafeteria?
