What's the call here and just for my learning does it make a difference if the ball was hit after the R slide across the plate?

Think of it this way: if R1 was stealing second, and F2's throw to was low/wide such that it hit R1 and bounced into the outfield, would you return R1 to first?
No you would not.
This is exactly the same situation you describe, just at a different base.
