In Fed rules, no foul causes a live ball to become dead.
K has kicked the ball illegally, which is a fifteen yard penalty from the spot. However, K also held during a loose ball play, 10 back from the LOS. You can only fair catch a legal kick, so we can dispense with that, and an illegal kick is treated like a fumble, no fair catching a fumble.
There is no protection for the kicker of an illegal kick but if there is a personal foul for unnecessary roughness or illegal personal contact, we would enforce that, but not RTK. That would negate the K foul and we would replay 4th down.
That not being the case, we have no TD if R accepts one of the fouls. We start on the snap as the down ended with the ball dead behind the goal line, 4th and whatever the accepted foul enforcement spot was. If we have RTK, then we have offsetting and we replay 4th down.
