My partner called a team control foul on A2 (which I 100% agreed with at the time). Is it possibly legal to screen someone legally while you're in a prone position on the floor?

Nope, but A2 wasn't screening anybody anyway by rule so that's completely irrelevant to what the call should be.
A2 had a legal position while lying on the floor under rule 4-23-1. If B1 then contacts A1, you can either no-call it for incidental contact or in the unlikely case where you think that B1 got some kind of advantage out of it, call a foul on B1. What you don't have is any kind of illegal act being made by A1 under the rules and therefore a foul shouldn't be called on him.
The only way that you could possibly call a foul on A2 would be if A2 fell down behind B1 and B1 immediately backed up and fell over A2. That doesn't sound like what you described above though.
