During the try for point, B is guilty of roughing the kicker.
Walk me through A's penalty options with this year's new NFHS rules, please.

By the new rule, the scoring team may choose to have the penalty enforced on the try or on the free kick. Having chosen to enforce the penalty on the ensuing free kick, the try will be from the three yard line and the free kick will be made from R's 45.
By rule, a foul by B on a successful try may be enforced from "the succeeding spot." Therefore unless A chooses to replay the try, the penalty committed by B during the try will be enforced from R's 45 yard line, which is the "succeeding spot" as determined by enforcement of B's foul during the touchdown run.
Don't make this tougher than it is.
