Many have said the penalty is enforced from the 30, resulting in 1st and 25 form the 20. I believe that it should be 1st and 20 from the 25. As the basic spot of a loose ball play is the previous spot. Am I missing something?

You're right about the
basic spot being the previous spot. But the
enforcement spot for a foul by the offense behind the basic spot is the spot of the foul. (All But One)
In NCAA rules, this would be penalized from the previous spot.
