Wmandino, your partner was trying to help you. I think he confused you more than help you. Base awards are pretty simple, rule wise, for thrown balls that go out of play.

If the throw is the first play from the infield, the award is 2 bases from the time of the pitch. So, on a grounder to F5 that gets thrown into DBT (dead ball territory), the BR would be awarded 2b, two bases from the time of the pitch (BR was at the plate).

If the throw is the SECOND play in the infield, or a throw from the outfield, then the award is 2 bases from the time of the throw.

In your situation, F6 touch of second for the force is play #1, the award would be from the time of the throw. The BR had not touched 1b, so the award put the BR on 2b.

You got the call right, but your partner blew the explaination.
