Post scrimmage kick enforcement begins when the ball crosses the neutral zone.

In your play an illegal or invalid fair catch would be penalized from the end of the kick under PSK rules.

I had to be there to accurately answer your question and my colleagues on the board will no doubt not comment on a play and the action of an official without knowledge of the situation.
