R3 grabs foul ball

You got it right. R3 was in foul territory, so no problem. Runner is out when he is hit by a fair batted ball.

Yeah, i was hesitant because R3 intentionally grabbed it, which was my major malfunction about the play.

Given that R3 is in foul territory, the more pressing question is whether F5 had a play on the ball to make an out. If it's a bounding ball, then clearly there's no interference, but on a looping line drive there's a strong presumption in favor of interference if F5 had any reasonable chance of recording an out.
