Fumbles are not loose ball plays, they are loose balls. (10-3-1)
Loose ball plays are the action DURING a legal kick or pass, not a fumble. (10-3-1)
Thus, fouls during the fumble are enforced from the end of the run (where the ball came loose).

Depends on where the fumble occurs... and who fumbled.
A loose-ball play is action during:
10-3-1c A backward pass (including the snap), illegal kick or fumble made by A in or behind the neutral zone prior to a change of team possession.
So if A10 takes the snap and retreats 5 yards where he fumbles, and A67 holds at the line of scrimmage before the fumble, then A12 recovers 8 yards behind the line of scrimmage... the basic spot is the previous spot.
