Does the IW change this equation? Given that this was reviewed in the booth, I have to assume the booth got the ruling correct.

With no IW, a hold during the kick is enforced at the spot where the kick ends.
If there is a true IW before the kick ends, the only enforcement spot is the previous spot.
However, replay should have ruled that the receiving team gained possession in the immediate continuing action after the IW. This effectively negates the IW and gives a spot of clear possession by the receiving team. This spot is also the end of the kick and should be the enforcement spot for the hold.
