Wouldn't you need to know where A2 lost possession to properly enforce the penalty? (In this example, the basic spot is the end of the run - A35, the B foul is behind the basic spot, so enforce from the basic spot - 15 yards. 1st and 10 for A from the 50)
Do you do something different in this case?

Scrimmage play penalties are enforced from point ball held or point of last scrimmage, depending if the line to gain was reached, or not reached, respectively.
In your scenario, the block below the waist is enforced from either PBH or PLS, depending on where the ball was when the foul happened. You didn't specify that data, so I can't give the final ruling.
