Since the hold occurred after the catch, it was during a running play. The Basic Spot for a running play is the end of the run. Penalties against the offense will be marked from the Basic Spot, unless the foul was behind the Basic Spot, in which case it will be marked from the spot of the foul.
John -- the term "downfield 5 yards" doesn't have any meaning to officials.
