Yes, that's an infraction. The rule states "grasp either basket" so that includes not only the ring, but the net, flange, and any braces too.
Stop fussing over whether or not a movable ring flexed or snapped. That is not part of or required by the rule.
Don't care about the time remaining or the score! Have the courage to make any call at anytime in the contest.
For the OP, if none of the officials observed it, it shouldn't be called.
