You clearly stated that the BR took an outside route to avoid F3 and then touched 1B. By rule, the runner is protected between the bases (with few exceptions which do not apply here) where the OBS occurred.
You have every right to protect the runner to 2B. However, if you place a runner back to a base which they passed, you have misapplied the rule.
