Beyond the neutral zone is on the defense's or return team's side of the ball. Behind the neutral zone is on the offense's or kicking team's side of the ball. In the neutral zone is the length of the ball.
So in this play K did recover the ball beyond the neutral zone, 7 yards down field. However since R touched the ball in or behind the expanded neutral zone, blocked at the line of scrimmage, it does not result in K retaining possession where they recovered it. K only downed the kick. R's ball at the spot of K's recovery.
